Birmingham and Manchester had always been part of the 'circuit' for
continental and metropolitan performers, no doubt by the end of
the century they were ceasing to be merely provincial. I suppose the period I
am thinking of would end about 1880. Would Birmingham and Manchester by
then have rivalled London as musical market do you think? Ann
