Michael Kilgarriff's compilation of some 20,000 popular song titles, 1860-1920, provides for the first time in one volume answers to the questions which excite Music Hall and popular song enthusiasts more than anything in life: who wrote what and when, and who sang it? The criteria for a song's inclusion are popularity, topicality, and significance in the career of its singer. Also included are titles still remembered and performed, for it is at today's Music Hall performers and producers that these checklists are primarily aimed. The non-active enthusiast and the casual enquirer will also find much of value herein, if only because the information offered is not readily available elsewhere. Many specialist libraries and collections are not open to the public. The importance of Sing Us One of the Old Songs is to bring much previously inaccessible material within general reach.

This text represents the distillation of over 30 years experience as a music hall chairman. It provides both a source book for music hall chairmen and an historical insight into the genre, as well as over 600 song titles of the period given, together with their lyricists, composers, dates of first performance or publication and the artists who made them famous. Introductions and back announcements are given for each - some straightforward, some funny and some downright saucy! Whether researching for a music hall evening, or reading purely "for pleasure", this volume should make informative and amusing reading.
