Liverpool Picton Lecture Hall – White Nomads – 1901
An original programme for a White Nomads Benefit Concert and Paddy’s Luck at the Picton Lecture Hall, Liverpool, on Boxing Day, 26 December 1901.
Performers named include the White Nomads, Tom Jones, James Georgeson, John Largon, J Campbell and James Kavanagh, an evening of music followed by a comic piece.
Local benefit concerts such as this were an important part of community life in Edwardian Liverpool, and surviving programmes are scarce, making this a rewarding find among old theatre programmes.
