History
A fascinating history...
26 June 2008 - 10:29am — sarah
Wilton's is the world's oldest and last surviving grand music hall.
Here, in the 1850s and 60s, classical overtures, dance, circus acts, opera, choral, and folk songs were enormously popular, long before "old time music hall" evolved. John Wilton built this theatre behind his public house, The Prince of Denmark in 1858, in Graces Alley, E1.
Kreutzer Quartet resident at Wilton's
Since 2007 the Kreutzer Quartet has been in residence at Wilton's. The quartet is a unique combination of soloists, composers, lecturers and communicators.
The players are Peter Sheppard Skaerved - Violin, Mihailo Trandafilovski, Neil Heyde - Cello and Morgan Goff - Viola.
In the beginning - The Mahogany Bar
28 October 2008 - 4:06pm — Wiltons Music Hall
The Mahogany Bar was built around 1725, it was always a public house but the first actual licence we can find is from 1780.
It was called many names over the years - The Albion Saloon, The Prince of Denmark but it became legendary as the Mahogany Bar.
Due to the sailing community the bar was famous on the sea fronts and harbours of every port in the world, it was said at the time that visiting sailors hadn't heard of St Paul's Cathedral was but they knew where the Mahogany Bar was.
