Steve,

Yeah, sorry about those first two songs, they happened to be in my head when I was looking through Axon!

It was frustrating coming across entries stating that HC sang 'several new songs' on a particlar night, but no titles given.

I suspect many of his songs had done the rounds before they were announced to the public, so may be older than stated. 'Mary Ann (a reference to his wife?); or the Roving Gardener' was already 'an immense hit' by the time it was 'released' in 1864.

Incidentally, Fanny Edwards seems to have given up the Music Hall soon after 1876 and took up Comic Opera. She joined the D'Oyly Carte company and had a successful career, by all accounts, up to the end of the century.

Still searching.....
