Description: | 'Hello Foxtrot': sheet music for a work by the celebrated concertina player Alexander Prince. At the start of the 20th century, London's music halls attracted big name performers from around the country. Alexander Prince was the best known concertina player of his day, and his virtuoso performances were considered a highlight of the music halls' varied programmes. His compositions were also popular and were marketed to amateur players with advertising based on his celebrity status as a performer. This work would have been sold in music shops across London in the 1920s, including at the Lachenal shop on Grays Inn Road, which specialised in concertinas and concertina music. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1921 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
