£10 / £8 concession

Description
Excitement! Drama! Romance! And… knitting? An award-winning hour of lost wartime knitting songs. Bring your knitting (or crochet) and stitch along to toe-tapping, needle-clicking tunes. Come out and have a “ball”!
During the World Wars, millions of women knitted for the soldiers. Mere days after the first bullet was fired, dozens of knitting-themed songs began to appear. After the wars these songs were lost, but this cabaret concert, this music – a clever, sweet and entertaining footnote in history – has been preserved and given a chance to live again.
‘Amazing!’ (Guardian).

Presented as part of the Field to Fashion project supported by Art Fund.
