Mr. Edward Lloyd, the famous tenor vocalist, was born in London in 1845.
When seven years of age he entered Westminster Abbey choir. Afterwards
he became solo tenor at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. Mr. Lloyd sang in
Novello's Concerts in 1867, and at the Gloucester Festival in 1871,
where he attracted much attention by his part in Bach's "Passion." In
1888 he went on tour in America, and sang in the Cincinnati Festival. In
the same year he sang also in the Handel Festival; and was principal
tenor in the Leeds Musical Festival in 1889. Mr. Edward Lloyd is an
artist "to the manner born," gifted with a perfect ear, a voice not only
of exquisite quality, but of remarkable flexibility, and is without
doubt the most popular tenor now before the public.
