about
Stanley Kirkby was a British music hall singer at the beginning of the twentieth century. He was particularly well known for a series of songs he sang during the First World War, such as "Boys of the Dardanelles", a patriotic song, "Tell my Daddy to come home again", a sentimental treatment of how hard it was for children to be parted from their soldier fathers, and in 1910 he covered "The Galloping Major"[1] - the original version of which had been performed by George Henry Bastow in 1906.[2] But he also had success singing love songs, such as "When you know you're not forgotten by the girl you can't forget". He recorded "Irish and proud of it too" in 1915. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
