Barnet Bells Hill Working Mens Club – Evening Concert – 1908

An Edwardian evening concert programme from the Bells Hill Working Mens Club, Barnet, dated 30 January 1908. Performers included Mable Apps, Olive Hope, Lillian Lane, Ernest Stokes, Alfred Denmead and Stuart Debnam.

Club concerts of popular songs, ballads and recitations were a much-loved winter entertainment in Edwardian England.

Programmes from local club concerts are scarce survivors and a charming piece of Barnet history, sitting well alongside old theatre programmes in any collection.
