EDITORS COMMENTS
George Lashwood: The 'Brummel of the Music Halls' (circa 1900) George Lashwood (1863-1942) was a renowned music hall singer, celebrated for his distinctive voice and impeccable stage presence. Known as the 'Brummel of the Music Halls,' Lashwood's influence extended beyond the realm of music, reaching the world of fashion and impersonation. In this photograph, Lashwood is seen in full regalia, exuding confidence and charm. His elegant attire, with its crisp collar and meticulously tailored suit, was a reflection of the refined sensibility that endeared him to audiences. Little did Lashwood know that his sartorial flair would inspire a generation of performers. Among them was Hetty (Hettie) King, a male impersonator who admired Lashwood's style so much that she incorporated elements of it into some of her own outfits. King's copying of Lashwood's fashion choices served as a testament to the singer's enduring influence. The music halls of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were a melting pot of talent and creativity, where artists like George Lashwood left an indelible mark on popular culture. This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures a moment in time when music, fashion, and performance intersected, leaving us with a lasting reminder of Lashwood's impact on the entertainment world.
