70th Anniversary Of The Battle Of Britain

In the summer of 1940, the German Luftwaffe attempted to win air superiority over southern Britain and the English Channel by destroying the Royal Air Force and the British aircraft industry. This attempt came to be known as the Battle of Britain, and victory over the RAF was seen by the Germans as absolutely essential if they were eventually to mount an invasion of the British Isles. Needless to say this didn't happen and I think that it's vital that we remember our history and was really excited that Cadogan Hall were presenting Hitz from the Blitz, a series of concerts to commemmorate the 70th anniversary, especially as the Puppini Sisters were playing last night.

I think the Puppini Sisters are a bit like Marmite, you either love them or hate them. The audience was of mixed age and the Sisters were on good form. We're playing the latest album (The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo) in car all the time at the moment. My favourite track's Soho Nights - give it a listen if you get a mo'.
