February 12th 2017 is a historic day in the annals of modern day Music Hall – it marks the 25th anniversary of the day Vincent Hayes first opened the doors of a brand new venture – a new music hall in the old workers canteen in the former Truman’s Brewery in London’s famous Brick Lane, in 1992.

Over the years, while it has moved premises, first to Shoreditch and then to its current home in Silvertown, Brick Lane Music Hall has become known worldwide and the shows are more popular than ever. In recognition of his success, Vincent Hayes received an MBE in 2013 for his services to British Music Hall.

Vincent has led the shows for 25 years, so we wanted to take the opportunity to pay him this tribute in 25 pictures….
