Music-hall lies at the root of all modern popular entertainment. It grew from the songs that people sang for their own entertainment in taverns at the start of the 19th century. Richard Anthony Baker provides a nostalgic glimpse of a world now passed away, presenting a slice of social history, rich in humour, tragedy and bathos.
