From a Gin Palace to a King's Palace by David John Hindle
This witty, warm and altogether delightful look at the history of music hall in Preston will fascinate lovers of musical history everywhere. Travelling from back-street alehouses to palatial theatres and featuring internationally recognised stars of the genre and some unusual local acts - including a very well received lecture on 'the joy of oysters' - this is a must for anyone who has ever felt the pull of the stage.
The author has been avidly researching the history of music hall in the area for many years. His previous titles include Twice Nightly (1999) on the history of cinema in Preston.
