| 11 July 2009 | 1940s Society Wartime Dance The Dunton Green Home Guard has kindly allowed us an evening within The People's Hall to stage another morale-boosting Black Out Dance. Enjoy the atmosphere of a special venue, enhanced by a range of music from such artists as Al Bowlly, Lew Stone and Geraldo, to Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey, all supplied by Empire Radio. There will also be live performances by ENSA's marvellous top of the bill singing act, the Clover Sisters. Whether you dance or just savour the atmosphere, grab your gasmask and tin hat for an evening of wartime nostalgia and entertainment. Dress code is very much 1940s or smart (military, civilian, black tie, no axis uniforms). Bring your own drinks and snacks as there isn't a licensed bar. Our last dance here was a great success so we are expecting an excellent and fun evening.
