For a great many years now I have been an ardent fan of variety theatre and in particular the Glasgow Empire.
This site is dedicated to the Glasgow Empire and all the wonderful artistes that appeared there over the years.
Sadly the Glasgow Empire was demolished in 1963 but hopefully I can in some small way keep the memories alive.
I have a very large collection of variety theatre memorabilia, some of which is used on these web pages.
My collection includes 170 Glasgow Empire programmes, photographs of many of the acts that played the Empire, cuttings and articles on the Glasgow Empire.
I also have 1,500 variety theatre programmes from Scottish theatres, 500 books on the subject of theatre, a great many cuttings and articles on Scottish variety theatre.
I am the Secretary for the
Scottish Music Hall & Variety Theatre Society, a position I have held with great pleasure for some years now.
