Music hall performers: pictures and sound files to
download in RealAudio format. Artists include Harry Tate, The Poluski
Brothers, George Formby Senior, and Dan Leno.
The heyday of the British Music Hall was from the 1890s up to the
second World War. It was the most popular form of entertainment for
ordinary people, at least until sound films began in the late 1920s.
Most of the leading music hall performers made gramophone records,
and I am making a small selection of recordings available as
RealAudio files: you will need the RealAudio
Player.
