cinemas last year, twenties
fever has spread like wildfire
and, on Saturday 8th
February, it is due to land in
Stafford.
From 7.30pm, the White
Eagle Club will play host to
stunning singer and entertainer
Lola Lamour who will whisk you
back to the Jazz age of the 20s,
with an homage to the great

glamorous 50s via the elegant
compositions and lyrical wit of
Cole Porter.
