TO MARK the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, the D-Day Darlings are returning to the Bacon Theatre, Cheltenham this autumn.

On Sunday, October 19 the three stunning songbirds will be packing up their troubles in their old kit bag and marching to the Dean Close School venue to perform their musical concert, 'The Songs that Won the War Sing-a-long Show'.

The show has been pieced together with a plethora of the most popular and beautiful music of the 1940’s wartime era, featuring songs by Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields, Bing Crosby, The Andrew Sisters, Frank Sinatra and many more. Kate Ashby, Laura-Jean Clinton and Nichola Roberts, a.k.a. The D-Day Darlings, perform in a series of authentic costumes to add a touch of 1940’s glamour to the occasion. Also, with a dazzling backdrop of original film footage from the era and sing-a-long sheets for the audience, the show promises to bring the spirit of wartime Britain alive for everybody.

Speaking for The Bacon Theatre, Jess Waterman said: “With landmark war-time commemorations taking place across the country this year, we wanted to celebrate with an afternoon filled with the incredible music of the era. The D-Day Darlings are three hugely talented singers, in the vein of The Andrews Sisters, offering our audience a nostalgic and uplifting trip down memory lane.”

Tickets cost £12.50 for an afternoon of 1940’s music at the Bacon Theatre. For more information and to book tickets visit www.bacontheatre.co.uk or call the Bacon Theatre on 01242 258002.
