I am trying to find musical score for Lloyd George’s Beer. This was written in 1915 by R P Weston and Bert Lee in London and was a popular music hall song. I have the lyrics and various recordings, but I would like to find the music score. Seems to be missing from any databases covering songs of that era.

I first heard it sung by the Songwainers... can remember the tune, but don't have notation for it...

It was the Coope, Boyes and Simpson's incomparable arrangement that first introduced me to this interesting song and I recall suggesting it for a Beer workshop at a Top Half Folk Festival at Mary River some years ago. Had a fascinating time researching some of the names and incidents mentioned in the song.
Sorry to say I'm not able to offer a musical score but I don't imagine you'll have to wait too long before a Mudcatter comes up with the goods!

Y I U
