Details: On May 8, 1945 - Victory in Europe (VE) - British Prime Minister Winston Churchill took to the airwaves to announce the official end to hostilities in Europe and declared, “This is your victory! It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land. In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this.” Jubilant crowds took to the streets in Canada and abroad to celebrate!
TODAY, we look back and continue the celebration with Three Cheers for 80 Years. Enjoy an evening out starting with a retro-themed buffet meal and then be prepared to be entertained by an engaging and highly energetic performance by the Celtic band, The Devil’s Brigade.
The Devil’s Brigade have mastered the art of creating an immediate connection with audiences. They are known for their epic, multi-instrumental sound that crosses the musical landscape to include jigs, reels, hornpipes, ballads, originals, covers, soundtracks, patriotic and military music, Irish foot-stompers and more.
Check out The Devil's Brigade on YouTube.
Dress is casual and the wearing of vintage fashions and Allied Forces uniforms of the 1940s is encouraged but not necessary.
