IT is now more than 70 years since band leader Glenn Miller disappeared over the English Channel on a flight to Paris.

He left behind a mega-fan in teen British rock and roll star and musical lead Tommy Steele.

This tour created with producer Bill Kenwright, which features a 16-piece orchestra, sees Steele explore how Miller changed the face of popular music in just a few short years.
