I am so proud to have honoured my beautiful family many of whom perished in the Holocaust in Europe during World War 2... The stories are all true and I endeavoured to present numerous archives photographic,cuttings etc to accompany each tale about a family steeped in four generations of show business across Europe, Britain,Africa and Australia..from my great grandmother, Alice Atherton, star of Victorian Music Theatre in London and New York,to Vic Atherton Filmer my grandfather, England's first pioneer of Jazz pre 1920's, to my own parents my mother Maria Loew a celebrated classical dancer, my father Jack Filmer, renowned dance band music leader in London... Then, my own tales from a small boy cellist in the wilds of Kenya into many of the world's greatest concert halls,recording studios, working with countless legends in classical, film,musicals and pop ..
