Isla St Clair February 13, 2011

Isla St Clair is known to millions in Britain for her numerous television appearances including The Royal Variety Show, Morecambe and Wise Show, The Saturday Show and most notably as co-host of the BBC’s Generation Game. ‘Eyes Front’ is an exciting combination of live performance and film about music in wartime. Isla performs a selection of popular songs, classics of their time, and tells the story behind them. Joining Isla is the highly respected film maker Patrick King who gives a fascinating and humorous “behind-the-scenes” look at the making of their award winning documentary films about music in war. Using film clips they illustrate how songs and music played an important part in people’s daily lives: for boosting morale, for propaganda or for just reminding people of better times. This rich mix of song, film, funny out takes and interaction with the audience, makes for a light hearted family show that is both informative and wonderfully entertaining.
