Lili la scala

The Boathouse, Spyglass Inn

With her vintage pin-up girl looks and the voice of a nightingale, this little diva with the big voice will certainly give you something to smile about with some of the funniest vintage songs she has found around the place.

From American composers Irving Berlin and Cole Porter to British legends Gracie Fields and Vera Lynn, and with a splash of George Formby thrown in for good measure, Lili La Scala offers traditional tunes delivered with cabaret sass that provide the perfect antidote to the current global depression.

The daughter of a ballet dancer and a sailor, the Songbird of Trafalgar Square, Lili la Scala has been delighting audiences worldwide with her gorgeous vintage songs. She has been in much demand the world over for her stylish shows and she looks forward to sharing them with you. Lili’s adventures have taken her as far afield as New Zealand and back again, so hang on to your hats and your hearts as Lili enchants you too.
