Saturday 26th October 2013

We have two tickets to give away to a wonderful 'Live and Local' event , organised by two local councillors - Shirley Niblock and Howard Borrell.

On Friday 1st November, the legendary Isla St Clair (left), brings her "Eyes Front" show to the St Thomas Centre, Chatsworth Road.

The show content ties in nicely with the timing of the event - as we look poignantly towards Remembrance Sunday, Isla brings "an exciting combination of live performance and film about the effect of music in wartime."

Singer and song writer Isla St Clair presents and performs a selection of popular songs, classics of their times, and tells the story behind them.

Joining Isla is film maker Patrick King who gives a fascinating and humorous 'behind the scenes' look at the making of their award winning documentary films.



Using film clips they illustrate how in wartime songs and music played an important part in people's daily lives: by boosting morale, for propaganda or for simply reminding people of better times.

This rich mix of song, film and funny out-takes and interaction with the audience makes for a light hearted show that is both informative and wonderfully entertaining. Expect demand to be high - so get your tickets as soon as possible to avoid missing out!

Tickets, priced at just £8.50 and £6.50 for concessions, are available from:
Created Gallery, Chatsworth Road (Tel 01246 232205) or contact Shirley Niblock (Tel: 01246 207080) or Howard Borrell (Tel: 01246 221400)

Brampton Brewery bar will be available. Doors open at 6.45 pm and the show starts at 7.30 pm.
