Liverpool Parochial Hall – Grand Concert – 1909 – New Brighton
An original programme for a Grand Concert at the Parochial Hall, Marsh Lane, Liverpool, believed to date from around 1909, held in aid of the New Brighton Boating Disaster Fund.
Performers include the Caldecot Male Voice Choir, Clara Bell, Emilie Young, Fred Moulsdale, Frank Bowlands, Thomas Delaney and Jennie Newsham.
Charity concerts like this show how local communities rallied after tragedy, and this programme is a poignant piece of Merseyside social history for collectors of old theatre programmes.
