Ladies and Gentlemen, look carefully, there is nothing up my sleeve. But I wave my magic wand and ta-da! A dossier appears revealing arcane secrets of the Middle East.

I’m not so much interested in the UK politics aspect of this article, but the history of music hall was great.
I think the writer sneaked a great article about music halls under the guise of political comment.

The Michael Foot speech about the magician and the watch really is very funny. Interesting also when you listen to these old House of Commons speeches how much time they had to speak and how little heckling there was.
Those were the days,!
To illustrate how standards have fallen, I was NOT impressed by Mr Hillary Benn’s so called epic speech of a few years ago.
Hailed by some as the greatest orator since Gladstone, Benn’s 13 minute speech was feeble in the extreme, made more irritating by the continual use of the word fascist!
His late father would have been appalled.

Interesting take by Bryan Ferry in comparing rock’n’roll to music hall. There’s some evidence that both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones also retained the folk memory of music hall, possibly through their parents or grandparents.
For instance, the Sargeant Pepper album included “For The Benefit of Mr Kite”, as well as references in the famous Peter Blake album cover.
The Rolling Stones produced this: The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (1968).mp4 on Vimeo
The circus and aspects of music hall are closely related.

Our “Music Clubs,” here in the USA, were so quaint by comparison. We did, mind you, come up with the idea prohibition. What killed these clubs was Thomas Edison’s phonograph, or so I’ve always assumed. How silly on my part. It is more or less true, however, that these clubs were, for us, safe spaces. Ladies in Victorian dress at tea. Their children playing Mozart’s Arietta. Someone needs to write an account of the trajectory from Mozart to Rap and needs also to explain what that trajectory means.

Haha – probably. But it was so interesting. It’s inspired me to find out more about such a fascinating era.
