Lily Marney
Last updated: 26.04.24
p_marneyl.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (March 2021) be gleaned about Lily Marney from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she has been featured on 12 works published between 1894 and 1901.
Of music hall interest is John James Murphy (1898) words & music by Felix McGlennon and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England. Therein the portrait depicts her arms akimbo.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
