Minisite for Thanks for the Memory - performing music hall, and songs from the 20s, 30s & 1940s

music hall

We are a theatrical group, based in Derbyshire, that specialise in performing full-length shows which recall music from a bygone age. Choose from three spectacular productions....

GOLDEN YEARS OF MUSIC HALL
Covers the early years of the last century, up to and including WW1 and features never to be forgotten songs originally performed by Olde time stalwarts such as Marie Lloyd, Vesta Tilley, Gus Elen and Florrie Forde

THE ROARING 20s
Evokes memories of Coward, the Charleston, Jolson and Jazz. We recreate the English cocktail party with its flappers and their sheiks, and the dimly lit cellars of the illicit American drinking dens frequented by gangsters and their molls

FROM THE RITZ TO THE BLITZ
Recalls the years of the great depression when American song-smiths reigned supreme. Listen to those lush, lilting love songs of the 1930s which ushered in WWII with its tragedies and ultimate triumph as we celebrate VE day in 1945.

A RECIPE FOR SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING
Take a pinch of nostalgia and mix carefully with a handful of memories. Stir lovingly and throw in equal quantities of comedy and pathos..... The result, a rich mix of colour and variety which will have your audience shouting for 2nd helpings!

We perform in theatres, churches, leisure centres and community halls.
