A former society entertainer at the piano. From the 1880s to around the turn of the Edwardian era, he made his fame with the humorist craft. Unlike those like Nelson Jackson and Tom Clare, he did not stay with it for long. For unknown reasons, his involvement on the stage fizzled out around the 1910s and he became an engineer instead, which he stayed for the rest of his life. Interesting indeed. He seems to have only published one humorous song ('Giggling Girl'), which no copies exists in any British library, and until now was impossible to access. Died in 1940 from cancer.
