SHOW DETAILS
Congress Theatre
Wednesday 9 December 2009
A memorable evening is guaranteed as leading RAF musicians present a magical mix of popular classics from the stage and screen, rousing military music plus big band numbers performed by the legendary swing band The Squadronaires.
The 2009 Royal Air Force in Concert tour welcomes back popular soloist Flying Officer Matthew Little and singer Emma Kershaw who will sprinkle the evening with some West End stardust, singing songs from Les Miserables and Cabaret before sharing the stage for a ‘secret’ 007 medley!
Compered by Ian Lavender, best known for his role as Private Pike in the BBC’s Dad’s Army, the Royal Air Force in Concert includes toe-tapping Glenn Miller melodies and an Armed Forces Salute, featuring popular theme tunes from some of the greatest war movies ever including The Great Escape and A Bridge Too Far.
Add to these classical favourites such as Orff’s stirring Carmina Burana and Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance and there is all the ingredients for a perfect night out for all the family.
The Royal Air Force in Concert is held in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, which helps fund projects and initiatives that inspire young people to be ‘air-minded’, improve the well-being of current Service personnel as well as assisting the wider RAF family of charities.
