The King is coming to Silvertown!
May 16, 2015An Insider’s Guide to the Sixties
July 16, 2015We are happy to announce that the winner of two tickets for our new show, Be Bop A Lula, is a lady from Kent. Having answered all the questions correctly in our 2014 pantomime programme quiz, she was chosen in our prize draw and will be bringing an old school friend to the show in October. The pair will enjoy a three course lunch, followed by a fun-packed show.
Rock and roll may have been invented in America, but Britain had the Teddy Boys, who added the clothes, the shoes, the hair, the motorbikes, the slick moves and a whole culture of cool that was the birthplace of Cool Britannia. Be Bop A Lula will bring back a host of memories for those who were around in the fifties, and for everyone the music and the style will be guaranteed to raise a smile. Below, Vincent Hayes shows how it’s done, with some classic Teddy Boy styling (Vincent’s Christmas Cottage 2011).
