Memphis The Musical opens at the Shaftesbury Theatre on 23 October 2014. I recently attended a preview show and I came out with a big smile on my face determined to learn all songs by heart from the newly bought special limited edition CD Memphis.

In 2014 lots of WW1 anniversary celebrations are taking place across the UK and Europe and as a parent I feel it’s my responsibility to teach my son all about WW1 and WW2.
