Sir,—I am currently writing a history of Irish music hall (c.1880-1910) and would be interested to hear from anyone with family connections and/or those who have music hall memorabilia such as flyers, illustrations, posters, photographs, programmes, newspaper/magazine advertisements and reviews. I’m also interested in biographical details on Irish performers as well as information on the actual venues and the audience for music hall in Belfast, Cork, Dublin, etc.. All materials will be handled with great care and returned to their owners in good order.
—Yours etc.,
