"With is origins in tavern entertainment, the great British Music Hall tradition was a hugely popular form of entertainment which grew out of the urban developments of the indusrial revolution during the Victorian era. Conducted by a Chariman or Master of Ceremonies, the Palaces of Variety and Palladium Theatres played host to attractions of all kinds from comic and characters singers to sentimental singers and novelty acts. This recording brings to life again the faded old sheet music, for too long left in store-rooms, whose popular style, set in London in the 1840's, spread all over the world influencing American Vaudeville, Parisian Cafe Concert, German Kaberett, and Russian Estrada. Using the instrumental forces of piano, violin, English concertina and guitar - a typical combination - it evokes the atmosphere of energy, sauciness and charming simplicity that so appealed to the audiences."
