It wasn’t an easy time during the days of the Second World War – people needed to find ways of getting through the tough spots. One of the ways that they found was getting together to sing songs and many of these songs became old standards that you may even recognize today. Another of the favourite pastimes of service men and women was spending their off-duty time in canteens that became famous for live entertainment by big bands and famous or soon-to-be famous singers. 

This show features a group of children who have been given a school project to research the Second World War and present their findings in class. In small vignettes in the background, adults perform the songs in a wonderful evening of memories suitable for all ages to enjoy.
