Drop me a line about anything Blitz: info@alexandracarter.com Blitz collected for the RAF Benevolent Fund & The Fire Fighters Charity Sponsored by Alex Carter singer Propertyworld, London Engineering Company Ltd and Spitfire Ale Maurizio Minardi accordionist Chris Lucas actor 10/10 Productions sound & lighting "... We arrived there carrying old blankets and sheets and made our way down to the station platform. I will always remember those people already down there, just lying around on makeshift beds. One man was playing a piano accordion and many of them were singing along with him. People of all ages, and all backgrounds all joined in together." -Jim Hepting, from BBC WWII People's War, a personal account 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. Marking the 70th anniversary of the London Blitz, the show is a tribute to the men and women who got London, and Britain, through those extraordinary times from September 1940- May 1941. Hit songs from the Blitz and eyewitness accounts drawn from our local contributors, set against a backdrop of authentic radio extracts and archive film footage and from the Imperial War Museum.
