President: Roy Hudd OBE
Vice Presidents: Wyn Calvin MBE. Jim Marshall OBE. Jack Seaton, Mary Sparks.
The Society was founded in 1963 to advance the education of the public in the traditions of the Music Hall and the art of the present day performer. To preserve memorabilia in the form of records, films, electronic media, photographs, literiture, costumes and personal properties appertaining to Music Halls and Music Hall performers. If you are really interested in past Variety theatre nostaliga this is the number one location. My grateful thanks for the passing to me of the wonderful old Variety playbills featuring the family. Touring theatres one remembers dozens of them but fail most of the time to collect anything!
This is the wonderful BMHS collection of theatre playbills! One day I must visit to see them all.
The above strip is from the British Music Hall Society website Home Page! Showing the family appearing with the great Jimmy James and Petula Clark.
