Accordions in the Air Raid Shelters, Stockport – UKby Rob Howard |
Accordionists Rob Howard and John Jones will be playing war songs, carols and Christmas songs in the Stockport Air Raid Shelters on December 7th, 10th and 14th, from 8pm. On December 22nd 1940 the Blitz on Greater Manchester began by the German Luftwaffe, and thousands poured into the safety of the Air Raid Shelters. Air Raids continued nightly until May 1941, and accordionists were prominent amongst the entertainers who played music to lift the spirits of those sheltering from the bombing.
