Here's some history behind the song.
Frank Matcham, the leading Victorian theatre architect was born in 1854 in Newton Abbot.
He was apprenticed to a local builder and architect before moving to London in the mid 1870s to join Jethro Robinson’s revered architectural practice.
Over the next forty years he designed more than two hundred theatres in Britain, including the London Palladium, the London Hippodrome, Blackpool’s Grand Theatre and Tower Ballroom, Buxton Opera House and the County Arcade in Leeds.
And here's the song.
