Tony B Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 This may be of intrest to some: The BBC is hosting a concert in Horse Guards on Saturday 9th May to celebrate the 70th anniversary of VE Day and we would love to invite members of your living history group to attend in allied forces period dress to sit amongst the audience. This concert will be broadcast on BBC One that evening and will feature a series of VTs honouring the service and sacrifice of all three armed forces and it would be great to have members of your group in attendance and add to the party atmosphere. Although we are not able to cover travel expenses or catering, these tickets are completely free and it is sure to be a lively and entertaining evening with a host of top artists performing musical numbers from the World War Two era. Please let me know if this opportunity would be of interest and I will confirm entry times and additional details. Further information about the event and performers can be found at the links below. Should you have any further questions you can reach me via email or on the telephone number below. Best wishes, Tolula Dada BBC Events External Direct Dial: 020 8008 4083 MC5 D5 | Media Centre | 201 Wood Lane | London | W12 7TQ http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02p6wp8 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2HzszhnSXKqk1bRpGfwpbrR/ve-day-70-a-party-to-remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
