Music Hall Memories
Lance's show "Music Hall Memories" has been so successful that a recording of it had to be produced! It contains 16 comic and dramatic monologues, mostly famous from Music Hall or radio, all recreated by Lance. To help this recording appeal to a younger audience who've never heard of Stanley Holloway or Music Hall (as well as to those who have), the MC Ali Burnett provides a 21st century linking patter.
