Bernard Russell (1876-1910)
Last updated: 09.06.25
All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Bernard Russell from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably a British music hall performer who has been featured on 11 works published between 1890's and 1910. His portrait on the left is taken from I Was Shaving Myself at the Time (189-) words & music by Fred Hastings, and published by Francis, Day & Hunter, London W.C.2, England.

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