GUEST, Sminky	Lyr Req: Songs by Harry Clifton (1832-1872) (161* d)	RE: Help: Harry Clifton Songwriter	07 Jul 10
CORN EXCHANGE, PRESTON Thursday and Friday, January 13th and 14th Mr Harry Clifton "will select eight of the following comic and chorus songs:- Comical Concert, Wedding of Biddy M'Grane, Shabby Genteel, Put the break on, Wait for the turn of the tide, The adventures of Robinson Crusoe (new comic extravaganza), Musical miseries, Ten minutes too late, Rip von Groggenheim &c. &c. and will, in conjunction with Miss Fanny Edwards, appear in two comic burlesque medley duets entitled Cupid in the kitchen and The style of the period, introducing parodies on the most popular songs of the day." Preston Guardian, Jan 8 1870 Rip von who??? The only Google entry I can find is that it was sung in New Zealand some 5 years later. I actually sang on the stage of the Corn Exchange when I was a lad of 10 or 11. The bulldozers moved in during the 1970's to make way for a new road. Just the entrance foyer (now a pub) remains. Ah, me.
