Singer and broadcaster Isla St Clair, presents and performs a selection of popular songs, classics of their time, 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 songs and music played an important part in people’s daily lives: for boosting morale, for propaganda or for just reminding people of better times.
This rich mix of song, film, funny out takes and interaction with the audience, makes for a light hearted family show that is both informative and wonderfully entertaining.
