Excited to see my article about John Hollingshead, street child turned theatre manager from Hoxton, and family friends the Lambs in the Charles and Mary Lamb Journal. The links between them are fascinating and often unexpected. #CharlesLambSociety #JohnHollingshead #Hoxton #NineteenthCenturyLondon

Couldn’t find the star for the top of my Xmas tree so put the late great Liberace, who said he did classical music with the boring parts taken out, up there instead. John Hollingshead of the Gaiety Theatre would have approved. #liberace #gaietytheatre
