Before the era of television, Saturday night for any self-respecting Cockney was the night to find an ‘old Joanna’ to gather around for a good old ‘ding-dong’. Whole families would come together around a piano for a high spirited sing-song, belting out all the much loved songs, from knees-up favourites like Roll Out the Barrel, Boiled Beef and Carrots, and My Old Man Said Follow the Van, to Music Hall standards like Let’s all go down the Strand and Down at the Old Bull and Bush.

At Brick Lane Music Hall, our Cockney Sing-Song is a lively show packed full of Cockney humour and the music and song learnt off by heart and passed down through the generations.

This year we launch our Autumn 2025 season with a bumper line-up. Andrew Robley, Bill Byrne, Lucy Reed and Jack Pallister are led by the Maestro himself, Vincent Hayes, with Guest Stars, Violinist extraordinaire, Victoria Yellop and comedian and Master of Magic and Mayhem, Josh Benson.

Please join us if you can! Booking now, but please hurry to avoid disappointment.
