About Spirit Of The Blitz - Armed Forces Day Special - Darwen Library Theatre

To coincide with Armed Forces Day, we open the 1940s songbook and remember the stars who kept us smiling through our darkest days.

Spirit Of The Blitz recaptures the tenacious optimism of war-torn Britain on the long road towards peace, paying tribute to our heroes through the music of their era.

Sing along to swinging hits like Dont Sit Under The Apple Tree, Bless Em All, Leaning On A Lamp-Post, and of course, Well Meet Again.

Starring Andy Eastwood, Helen Farrell and Steve Barclay, this feel-good show recreates all your forties favourites, including Vera Lynn, George Formby, Max Miller, Arthur Askey, Anne Shelton and Gracie Fields. A truly heart-warming afternoon of live music and laughter.

For those who remember the 40s, the show is a trip down memory lane; for those who dont, its a Sentimental Journey back through time to the glorious melodies and good clean comedy that accompanied a dogged nations battle for survival.
Remember a generation of loved ones in the uplifting style that most reflects their resilient spirit.

Why not bring a party to commemorate and celebrate with us?
