At its best the Music Hall could be exuberant, ribald, satirical, maudlin or witty. Its performers were a motley bunch stretching from penniless one-hit wonders to lavishly-rewarded professional entertainers.
Theirs was the popular entertainment of the day, reflecting its audiences hopes, dreams and foibles back to them, often with a saucy wink or a rude joke.
Today the Music Hall has receded into the history books of popular culture, yet many of its songs have retained a vivacious life of their own. Some of the very best have been collected in this book, making it a timeless celebration of a uniquely colourful form of live entertainment
50 Songs from the British Music Halls, including old favourites such as: My Old Man (Said Follow The Van); It's A Bit Of A Ruin That Cromwell Knocked About A Bit; Daisy Bell (A Bicycle Made For Two). All songs are accompanied by insightful commentaries and analysis.
