  Edward Fitzball - LoveToKnow 1911
EDWARD FITZBALL (1792-1873), English dramatist, whose real patronymic was Ball, was born at Burwell, Cambridgeshire, in 1792.
His father was a well-to-do farmer, and Fitzball, after receiving his schooling at Newmarket, was apprenticed to a Norwich printer in 1809.
He produced some dramatic pieces at the local theatre, and eventually the marked success of his Innkeeper of Abbeville, or The Ostler and the Robber (1820), together with the friendly acceptance of one of his pieces at the Surrey theatre by Thomas Dibdin, induced him to settle in London.

Their music does have a progressive element, but the album focuses more on lyrical songwriting than anything else.
Trevor Garrod (keyboards/vocals) wrote all the music on the album and a majority of the lyrics (one song’s lyrics were taken from Edward Fitzball, a British writer who died in 1873), though in their live show, Josh Clarke (guitars/vocals) can still carry much of the front-man energy.
He is also one of the more incredible guitar players I’ve had the pleasure of watching in my life.

To this concert's novelties he brought impeccable intonation and seamless phrasing of melodic lines.
The opening vocal setting, "The Hudson Side," was described in the program sheet as having been "sung by Miss Julia W. Pomeroy in the romantic opera The Miser's Well, produced in New York in the early 1840s." The text, by Edward Fitzball, was set to music by G. Herbert Rodwell, both Englishmen.
In New Grove II, Nicholas Temperely writes that Rodwell's works "enjoyed a good deal of popularity in their day, but scarcely outlived him, and to modern taste they have only a faint appeal." The stanzas were repeated three times like a Handelian opera aria but without either interesting ornamentation or vocal fireworks.
