The band will be playing every lunchtime from 1pm until 2pm plus a headline show on Tuesday 23rd July (as part of the gala entertainment evening).Known for their world class musicianship and high energy performances, Bamboozle seamlessly combine the vibe of the swinging 1950s with the sounds of today, in a way that mesmerises both retro loving and modern audiences. Expect great original songs as well as robustly revamped rockabilly classics.The band combines internationally renowned singer/guitarist/songwriter Jim Knowler (The Keytones, Gotz Alsmann), injecting his exciting and instantly recognisable guitar riffs, with new face on the scene, singer/bassist/songwriter Serena Sykes, lighting up the stage with her dynamic performances, electric vocal and daring double bass stunts, backed by the slick, thrumming grooves of drummer/vocalist Les Curtis (Imelda May, Darrell Higham, Wanda Jackson).Though they’ve only been going for three years, they seem to have their tapping toes firmly in the fast lane to success. Formed in Kent, they’ve already toured the UK & Europe and headlined festivals including Twinwood, Summer Jamboree and, Festival of Vintage.

Our Victory Marquee compere with a wink in his eye, a witty joke on the end of his tongue and a dodgy black market deal up his sleeve! Viv The Spiv will keep you entertained, tell you who’s who and what’s what between the talented acts every day.

Viv appeared on stage at the London Palladium performing for The Queen as part of Dame Vera Lynn’s 100th birthday celebrations. We welcome Viv back to the Victory Marquee this year. Just don’t fall for his charm. Not arf!

This year we celebrate Adam’s 20th consecutive year performing at The War and Peace Revival.

Adam is known for being a magician, compere, Rat Pack style singer, comic, actor, voice over artist, model (ok that one’s a lie), musician, children’s entertainer, writer, director, producer and an all-round idiot with numerous TV appearances and countless stages shows under his belt.

With his quick wit, charm, entertainment skills, silliness and unpredictable tomfoolery Adam is at ease with any type of audience, he will get you from the start and hold you in the palm of his hand and take you on a rollercoaster ride of fun and laughter. Many top critics/reviewers have compared him to the late great Eric Morecambe an accolade Adam holds very dearly.

Adam would like to dedicate his performances at this year’s show to his hero, his Dad, David Hoffman who sadly passed away. David was a Veteran, a Father, a Husband, a Grandfather, a Great Grandfather, a friend, Adam’s hero and a true entertainer who is sadly missed by many.

Born out of the late night, cider-fuelled, sing-a-longs in the Nag’s Head bar at the Twinwood Festival, Carradine’s Cockney Sing-a-long was launched in the Mahogany Bar at Wilton’s Music Hall in October 2014. Since then it has grown and is now playing sell-out dates in the main auditorium at Wilton’s, monthly dates at Cahoots (London), every Thursday at Mr Fogg’s Tavern (London) and vintage events and festivals up and down the country including Twinwood (Bedford), The Classic Car Boot Sale (London), Vintage by the Sea (Morecambe), Festival of Vintage (York) and The Great British Vintage Fair (Braintree).

Peggy Rose is delighted to be making her debut at The War and Peace Revival this year. With her soulful vocals and English charm, Peggy brings you the style and sounds of the Swinging Sixties. From Dusty to Cilla to Lulu, Peggy takes on the hits of the female icons of the era.

She performed as Lead Vocalist for Headliners Theatre Company onboard MV Oriana for two world cruise contracts, as a cabaret artist onboard P&O Ferries and as Lead Vocalist for Main Feature Productions in Dubai.

You will have the time of your life with beloved War and Peace Revival regular, Scott singing classic Elvis Presley songs from the 50s through to the 70s. If you know and love these songs, you won’t want to miss Scott’s wonderful tribute to The King of Rock’ n ’Roll. Scott has been very busy since last summer performing at solo shows, vintage and charity events across the country.

After performing a couple of songs together as a bit of an impromptu jam session at The War and Peace Revival in 2017 and going down a storm, Holly and Victoria formed The Dulcettes. The rest, they say, is history!

The girls have gone from strength to strength in their short time together joining The Jive Aces on their UK & Ireland tour, performing at Cahoots London and being invited back as an official act at The War and Peace Revival Victory Marquee in 2018. The Dulcettes have already released an Album this year called “Happy Days” which has received rave reviews and a Christmas EP.

The Dulcettes perform songs ranging from the 1920s to the present day with a Jazzy/Vintage twist, complete with snazzy outfits to match! Not to be missed, these girls will blow you away with their powerful vocals and charming personalities.

Rosy Apples is a multi-talented performer, actress and pin-up model. This bombshell does it all from DJ-ing to fire performing, stilt-walking to balloon art, and everything in between!

A firm favourite at The War and Peace Revival since 2012 Rosy is not new the vintage scene and has performed all over world. Rosy is looking forward to performing various Burlesque routines at this year’s show and spinning the decks on the dance floor as her other alter ego “DJ-Retro-Rosy”.

For much of the 20th century and now into the 21st century Britain, supported by her allies, has seen her young men and women serve in countless places around the globe and often make the supreme sacrifice. They have waded ashore at Normandy, toiled under the desert sun in Libya, searched out terrorists in the Malayan jungles, been cold and wet in the South Atlantic, patrolled the streets of Belfast, and now they are still making us proud as they go about their business in Afghanistan.

The War and Peace Revival is paying its own tribute to these heroes by telling their stories so that present and future generations will learn of their courage and understand the sacrifices they made.

Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra fans will experience the next best thing in this irresistible new show that leaves fans euphoric. The ‘concert of the century that never was’ sees Michael Buble welcome his idol Frank Sinatra into his world – he’s time-travelled from his trilby-wearing mid-1950s prime to meet the sensational Canadian modern-day contender for his crown.

Who will be your favourite when their worlds collide in this stunningly authentic show featuring The Capitol Orchestra? See recreations of all of Buble’s biggest hits like Hollywood, Haven’t Met You Yet, Feeling Good, Me & Mrs Jones, Cry Me A River, Home, Save The Last Dance For Me, To Love Somebody and Sinatra swinging his classics like Luck Be A Lady, Strangers In The Night, New York.

Expect exuberant duets of the songs that they’ve both had hits with half a century apart as well as the witty exchanges and fun you’d expect from the two idols. Hearing is believing when it comes to the show’s phenomenal Jamie Flanagan, the most authentic Michael Buble Tribute in the UK today. He’s joined on stage by the equally phenomenal Kevin Fitzsimmons, the only Sinatra Tribute seen and approved by president of the Sinatra Music Society.

8pm till midnight performing two sets.

The Memphis Belle Swing Orchestra was originally formed in 1990 to appear in the David Puttnam film ‘Memphis Belle’ starring Harry Connick Junior. Such was the impact of the orchestra on the film crew and musicians that Greg Francis decided to keep the band together and has never looked back since.

The Memphis Belle Swing Orchestra played at the premiere of the film in Leicester Square in front of the Duchess of Kent and since then the orchestra have been playing all over the country at 1940s style hangar dances, private parties, holiday camps, universities, theatres and lots of other prestigious events.

The orchestra consists of top-class young musicians from all over the UK. They all dress in the American 8th Army Uniform and as well as sounding fantastic they really look great too.
