SUMMARY:OL' BLUE EYES IS BACK – AT CROFT NOSTALGIA FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:The sounds of Sinatra will reverberate around Croft Circuit next month\, as ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ takes to the mic’ for the eighth annual edition of the retro-flavoured Croft Nostalgia Festival on 5/6 August.\n\nWholeheartedly embracing its 1940s-1970s theme\, Croft Nostalgia Festival is one of the most popular events on the north-eastern social calendar\, and the addition this year of ‘Frank Sinatra’ – in the form of sound-alike Jack Randle – will provide yet another compelling reason for visitors to get their groove on.\n\nOl’ Blue Eyes will be the headline act in the main marquee during the new-for-2017 tea dance from 2-4pm on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile\, the return of vintage harmony duo The Daisy Belles and George Formby impersonator and World War Two ENSA performer Colin Bourdiec – who will reprise his regular compere role – ensures there will be musical magic from dawn ‘til dusk.\n\nSaturday evening will see the party in full swing with Yorkshire-based sextet Jump\, Jive & Wail performing for competitors and exhibitors\, whilst spectators will have an extra incentive to enter into the spirit of the occasion and don period costume with ‘best-dressed’ prizes on both days.\n\nThe Croft Nostalgia Festival entertainment does not stop there\, however – far from it. On-track\, iconic race cars from yesteryear will relive old duels\, with classics from every era packing the paddock and offering visitors the opportunity to swoon over dazzling D-types\, fabulous Ferraris and muscular Mustangs.\n\nMilitary buffs will not be left out either\, with evocative World War Two encampments\, more than 100 jeeps and tanks\, awe-inspiring aircraft engines and breathtaking aerial displays – including the mighty Avro Lancaster Bomber flying over Croft\, as it did back in World War Two with the Royal Canadian Air Force.\n\n“Croft Nostalgia Festival is such a wonderfully diverse event\, and that is the secret behind its enduring and growing appeal\,” said Mike Scorer from the organising team. “Whilst it is renowned for its on-track thrills\, the off-track attractions are every bit as much of a draw\, and the musical element is an essential part of that.\n\n“Colin Bourdiec\, The Daisy Belles and Jump\, Jive & Wail have all established themselves as firm Nostalgia Festival favourites in recent editions\, and we are tremendously excited to welcome ‘Frank Sinatra’ to Croft for the first time – legends really don’t come much bigger than Ol’ Blue Eyes...\n\nAdvance tickets for the weekend are available priced at just £11 for Saturday\, 5 August and £16 for Sunday\, 6 August – or £24 for both days. Accompanied children aged 15 and under will be admitted free of charge.\n\nFor further information or to buy tickets\, call 01325 721815 or see: http://www.croftcircuit.co.uk/racing/nostalgia
