Abney Park cemetery has buried within its peaceful wooded glades several music hall performers of note (Nelly Power, George Leybourne and Albert Chevalier among them), so I invited some friends to join me in celebrating these players in a fundraising film for the Abney Park Trust.
Colette Kelly, Peter John, Niall Weir and Phoebe Weir all contributed either from their research or with their singing voices. Other chums gave me invaluable background history to the period, the genre and the performers. The film, running at about 40 minutes, is ready for editing and assembling, and should be on YouTube later this month.
