A to Z of Leicester: D is for...

De Montfort Hall

I screamed at the Beatles, swooned at The Stones, danced and waved my arms to their music. Now I sit and sing at Solid Silver Sixties Shows. The place has been painted, extended, but it’s still my favourite concert hall.

A quadragintal is a blog of exactly 40 words. 


The main entrance


A favourite show, a favourite era

This year's production is called The Sensational 60s Experience 
and it's at the De Montfort Hall on 10th November.
