Louise Jordan celebrates the courage, strength and resilience of some remarkable women who challenged expectations in WW1. Live music, sound recording and original songs bring their worlds to life.

At a performance of No Petticoats Here you can expect to hear songs that span the full range of human emotion from the triumphant waltz Pride of the Army about matron Ada Yorke, to the call to arms of Toil, Women, Toil – a marching song inspired by the army of women workers at Priddy’s Hard in Hampshire; from the urgency of Queen of Spies about British agent and French national Louise de Bettignies, to the haunting Endless Days about Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm who set up a first aid post on the Front Line in the bombed out village of Pervijse.
