CARRADINE’S COCKNEY SING-A-LONG

Join Mr. Tom Carradine, on the Ol’ Joanna, as he leads you in a traditional Cockney sing-a-long. With songs from the music hall era, WWI and II, the West End stage and traditional popular songs from across the decades it’s a good old-fashioned knees-up!

Born out of the impromptu late night sing-a-longs at the Twinwood Festival, since it’s launch in 2014 Carradine’s Cockney Sing-a-long has been a fixture on the UK’s vintage scene, playing sell-out dates in the main auditorium at Wilton’s Music Hall, every Thursday at Mr Fogg's Tavern in Covent Garden and for vintage festivals, corporate events and private parties across the country and in Europe.

Tom Carradine, pianist, entertainer and Music Hall aficionado, decided that he wanted to capture the flavour and atmosphere of a good old-fashioned knees-up, in the grand Cockney tradition, and recreate it for audiences young and old.

Performed and Written by Tom Carradine

Running time: 45 mins / 45 mins

Previous venues include: Wilton’s Music Hall (London), Mr Fogg’s Tavern (London) and hundreds of vintage festivals, corporate events and private parties across the country and in Europe.
