Possibly my great grandfather, Joe Tennyson (Tennyson and O’Gorman), played there at some point in his Music Hall career – need to investigate further!

Another masterpiece by Tessa and her team which will bring joy to all that pass it.

I can’t wait to see the book about all her brilliant mosaics.

Bravissimo Tessa and Walter!

I’m now sending this article to a distant cousin whose relative was in a well known music hall act Tennyson and O’Gorman, and also our mutual great great grandfather, Gus Leach Snr, and great grandfather, Gus Leach Jnr, we’re the proprietors? Of Hoxton Varieties as well as chairman of Middlesex Music Hall in Drury Lane. We would love to find out more information on Hoxton Varieties… Bishopsgate Institute or?
