With "Downton Abbey" in its final season we are inspired to celebrate the music of the Victorian and Edwardian Eras. In reality it was the hey-day of the musical genre known as “palm court”. It was also the period of that other TV series "Upstairs, Downstairs" and the film "Gosforth Park." The programme will include drawing room ballads, songs from light opera and operetta and a sing-a-long from the British Music Hall.
