Very true, Steve. I just wish he'd live a bit longer (It's not the miles we travel, but the pace that kills!). Here's a 'family gathering' I found in the John Johnson Archive of Printed Ephemera (Bodleian Library): Agricultural Hall, Brignorth One Night Only, Saturday, 30th August Popular Concert and Operetta Party During the evening: Miss Fanny Edwards (Mrs. H. Clifton) will sing Ye maiden in springtime, (Dinorah), The Minstrel Boy, Whither, Ship Boy's Letter, &c. Miss Annie Kinnaird will sing Snake in the Grass, Bailiff's Daughter, While walking out so early, &c. Mr. Redfern Hollins will sing Death of Nelson, Dreaming all the day, Pilgrim of Love, &c. Mr. E. C. Dunbar will sing Selections from all the most refined effusions of the day, including Ten Minutes too late, Don't be after Ten, Harry Clifton. Inexplicably, the website gives the 'date of the event' as Tuesday November 23rd 1909. Fanny Edwards died in the US in 1908, of course.
