"The Seedy Swell" was written by Harry Liston according to Era (first mention May 20, 1866). "

I've just bought a book called 'Victorian Delights' by John Hadfield on the offchance it might mention JBG (my great great great grandfather) and lo and behold the second photograph in the book is of a songsheet cover for 'The Seedy Swell' - Sung by Harry Liston, Written by J B Geoghegan, Music by R. Hughes.

I've also just got original copies of songsheets for 'Notting Hill or the Dodger's Lament for his Lost Love' and 'They All Have A Mate But Me'.

I'm beyond excited to hold an original songsheet in my paws!

I will happily email PDF versions to anyone who wants them. But I had no idea the originals were so large! I've only got an A4 scanner. But will work something out...
