Last updated: 17.03.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of recordings located. All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about George D'Albert from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was an English Music Hall performer who has been featured on 27 works published between 1895 and 1914.His portrait on the left is taken from Your Dear Old Dad Was Irish (1914) music by William Hargreaves, words by Lawrence Wright and published by Lawrence Wright Music Co., , London W.C., England.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.

The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
