Various - Music Hall Parade N 24

Review by John Hundley

The album Music Hall Parade N 24 by Various is a delightful collection of vintage music hall performances. The tracks are a mix of comedic skits, catchy tunes, and sentimental ballads, all performed by a range of talented artists from the early 20th century.

The album opens with a jaunty instrumental piece, setting the tone for the lively and spirited collection of songs to come. From there, listeners are treated to a variety of styles and moods, from the upbeat and playful "I'm Shy Mary Ellen, I'm Shy" to the wistful and romantic "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree."

The performances are all top-notch, with each artist bringing their own unique flair to their respective tracks. Standout performances include Florrie Forde's rousing rendition of "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag," and Harry Champion's comical "Boiled Beef and Carrots."

Summary by John Hundley

Music Hall Parade N 24 is a charming and entertaining album that will transport listeners back in time to the heyday of British music hall. Whether you're a fan of vintage music or just looking for something fun and lighthearted to listen to, this album is sure to please.
