This, quite unique, collection of song lyrics has been put together, over a 12 year period, by a small group of friends and music hall enthusiasts.
Most of the songs would have been popular between the years 1860 - 1920, with the occasional inclusion of material by stars who, with the demise of the halls, found continued success within the legitimate theatre, radio and even television.
Within these pages, you will find the songs of the music hall pioneers such as Sam Cowell, 'Jolly' John Nash, The Great Vance, Nelly Power, George Leybourne, Arthur Lloyd and many more... plus, the legendary Dan Leno, Little Tich, Gus Elen, Marie Lloyd, Nellie Wallace, Wilkie Bard, Mark Sheridan, George Robey and a host of other well known and lesser known artistes.
As the new curator of this collection, I shall be adding to and updating the site as more material is uncovered so please feel free to get involved. |
