Louise Jordan

No Petticoats Here is a project that tells the stories of inspirational women of the First World War through song. Louise Jordan performs 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.
