Just in case you hadn't heard!
"Blitz," one of the closing performances of the Sydenham Arts Festival, takes place on the actual 70th anniversary of the Blitz, to the day, and the following Saturday as a tribute to the men and women who got London through the Blitz all those years ago.
Featuring hit songs of the Blitz accompanied on the accordion, together with stories drawn from interviews with local residents, "Blitz" is set against a backdrop of the sights and sounds of the Blitz, authentic radio extracts and archive footage from the Imperial War Museum. Part of our heritage as Londoners and British citizens is the hardship and the horror that the city endured during the Blitz 70 years ago; but with it came much to inspire and move us.
Dig out your forties gear, come and remember the Blitz Spirit with Alex Carter, Singer, Chris Lucas, Actor, and Serge Pachnine, Accordionist.
