London Calling featuring Carole Trench, Evan Roberts and Anthony Stonier is a delightful musical nostalgia touching on all that is English from the times of Dragons and King Arthur, passing Henry VIII, the vaudeville era, the World Wars and post war Britain up to the present day.

This Herculean task is achieved by highlighting specific eras and leaping whole dark ages in between!

London Calling is witty, warm and features such popular numbers as “Where are the Simple Joys of Maidenhood”, “Greensleeves”, “Mad Dogs and Englishman”, “We’ll Meet Again”, “Hard Day’s Night”, “Don’t go Breaking My Heart”, “Goldfinger”, “Memory” and many more.

London Calling concludes with an English pub style sing-a-long.
