This weekend the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall in the Trongate
golden days of musichall
will open its doors during the Merchant City Festival to offer Music Hall Memories.
The Music Hall, famous for the early performances of Stan Laurel, Dan Leno, Sir Harry Lauder and Jack Buchanan, is looking forward to entertaining a new generation on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 July.
There will be magic, music, comedy antics, speciality acts, sing-a-longs and exhibitions. The performances will be at 1pm and 3pm, but patrons are advised to be there 15 minutes earlier.
The performances of Music Hall Memories will be free but donations are welcome. In 1997 a charitable trust was founded to rescue, restore and reopen the auditorium. But financial help is needed to keep it going.
