I have spend the weekend in Uppermill, Oldham where the have
had a WW2 Victory weekend.
There was a parade of Military vehicles and various displays.
The Civic Hall Had a big Glan Miller type band playing for
dancing,especially jiving, and a 1940's meal served in a
gas mask box.
People dress up in English, American. and even German uniforms
and styles of the time, the whole village is taken over for the weekend
everywhere there is music,music,musi.
The pubs carparks put up margues and have various displays,and
stalls, and live music for JUMP JIVIN' , LINDY HOPIN, GENERAL
