Here are the key learning points again for you as a reminder:

  • the resilience of oral storytelling
  • the popularity of ‘kitchen ceilidhs’, ‘backgreen’ concerts, ‘speakeasies’ and ‘penny gaffs’ in the 19th century and onwards
  • music halls and the dominance of English “in a Scottish accent”
  • pantomime, television and comedy on stage.
