Story
Gwen Farrar and Norah Blaney were household names in the 1920s. They were classically trained musicians who met each other in the First World War entertaining troops. They fell in love and formed a double act, singing the romantic love songs of their day to each other. They toured all over the UK and went to Broadway and Florida. They were open about their love for each other but in those days they couldn't get married. Now they have been forgotten and their legacy is neglected.
