Oh my! You can hear the big bands playing so clearly to that set of pictures. Absolutely fascinating - there’s such an air of surreptitiousness that pervades the pictures, simply due to the blackout. I wonder if anyone has any colour pictures from the era - would there have been problems taking colour images without any light sources at night?
Great pictures. I love the unbridled joy of the girl dancing the jitterbug
