BRIDPORT: Hits from the Blitz
The Bridport Arts Centre will be swinging along to the “Hits from the Blitz” show on Sunday, August 5th. The unique “feel-good” 1940’s show, as featured at Dame Vera Lynn’s Charity Gala Nights, boasts famous War-Time tunes and “sing-a-longs” brought to life by the singers and multi-instrumentalists of the “Five Star Swing” band, ("Superb, they swing like crazy!” – Sheila Tracy, BBC). Featuring Simone from the latter days of the Ivy Benson Orchestra plus Chris Smith (Jnr) composer and arranger for Glenn Miller’s Brother, Herb and the BBC Radio Big Band. Chris Says, " I've been brought up with this style of music as my father (Chris Smith Snr) played trombone for Frank Sinatra on his European tours. It’s a great atmosphere during the show as there's a strong resurgence in Jazz and Swing music enjoyed by all generations these days”. Trombonist Mike Innes will also be featured, Mike performed with Tony Bennett in the ‘90s. The show starts at 7.30pm.
