Thanks ! For anyone else interested in Music Hall, I've found the British Music Hall Society (Membership 15 pounds)
www.music-hall-society.comI'm hoping to take them to the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden then to a matinee at the Players' Theatre.
Spoilt for choice with songs - no shortage there ! We'll have a magic act, a ventriloquist (of sorts !),sand dance, acrobats, a melodrama, recitation: Albert & the Lion (or similar).
It's the "I say, I say" jokes I'd appreciate contributions for - the more the merrier, and suggestions of classic routines, like Busy Bee and the dangerous animal in the cardboard box (Eli Woods). I've not contacted them yet, but I think the Music Hall Society will be able to help there - these things are never written down.
Many thanks,
