Burnley Swing Boys' Concert Party
« on: Wednesday 12 March 25 13:31 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon

Further to a very quick Google search I have come up with zero results about the Burnley swing boys' concert party c 1942.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Is this to do with the 1942 newspaper report? The only item I can find with details of the group is from 1947. Many references as Swing Boys from Burnley.

Hi

Thank you. I came across them in a news report from 1942 but have found little else in my brief search. I do have a few books about Burnley so maybe there is something in there as well.
