Back yet again after another resounding success at this glorious venue last November, The Players’ Theatre Company invite you on a heart-warming trip down memory lane to the bygone, golden days of traditional Victorian Music Hall.

With special Guest Star, MR BASIL BRUSH! ‘Unleashed Basil ‘ looking dapper in complete pearly costume, your worthy Chairman, Mr Richard Gauntlett and this multi-talented cast, produced and directed by Miss Jan Hunt all transport you back to the golden days of traditional music hall with song, dance, magic and laughter. ‘Brush-ing’ the ivories to accompany this unmissable evening will be Wilton’s-favourite, Mr Tom Carradine.

Produced and directed by Jan Hunt, the evening will also bring to the stage memories of many of the stars from BBC TV’s long-running world famous series, ‘The Good Old Days‘.

Together, let’s revel in the days when beer was a penny a pint, income tax was sixpence in the pound, and the British Navy ruled the waves! Carefree, cheerful and uniquely British.

From the charm of Music Hall classics to the wartime spirit of WWI and II, from the dazzling lights of the West End stage to the timeless melodies spanning the decades, this is an evening of pure nostalgia and unadulterated fun. Get ready for a good old-fashioned knees-up that’ll have you singing along like never before! 

So, clear your throat, dust off your vocal cords, and prepare for an unforgettable evening of melodies, memories, and merriment.

Returning for a tenth year of rousing feel-good performances, your piano-playing host, Tom Carradine is back with another uproarious evening of song. 

Let Tom lead you in a traditional East End sing-a-long around the old Joanna, including ditties from the Music Hall era, WWI and II, the West End stage and popular songs from across the decades. It’s a good old-fashioned knees-up! 

Since launching at Wilton’s back in 2014, Carradine’s Cockney Sing-a-long has gone from strength to strength, performing every Thursday at Mr Fogg’s Tavern in Covent Garden and for vintage festivals, corporate events and private parties across the country.   

The sing-a-long has also appeared on television (including The Apprentice and Sunday Brunch), two transatlantic crossings on the Queen Mary 2 and in Trafalgar Square for the Mayor of London’s 2024 St George’s Day celebrations. 

In January 2022, Tom was recognised by the British Music Hall Society with an award for “keeping the spirit of music hall alive”.
