Description
John Major's personal history of music hall is a remarkable journey into his unconventional family past, exploring the story of the British music hall from its Victorian heyday to its demise.
With fondness and colour, Major shares memories of his performer father Tom, and shines the spotlight on the story of the music hall itself, bringing to life characters such as Marie Lloyd, Little Tich and Vesta Tilley, who take their place in the limelight once more.
Packed with colourful anecdotes, 'My Old Man' is a warm-hearted account of a golden and bygone age, offering a unique perspective on this bygone era of entertainment and performance.
