Marie Lloyd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | All but Daisy performed under the name Lloyd in honour of their eldest sister, who when they were children had formed them into a group called the Fairy Bells Minstrels. |
| | Lloyd's songs, although perfectly harmless by modern standards, began to gain a reputation for being "racy" and filled with double entendre, largely thanks to the manner in which she sang them, adding winks and gestures, and creating a conspiratorial relationship with her audience. |
| | Lloyd shouted, "Let her through girls, she'll close the music-hall faster than we can." The singer was Belle Elmore, later murdered by her husband, Dr Crippen. |
