Irene Young
Last updated: 09.06.25
p_youngi.jpgAll that can presently (July 2023) be gleaned about Irene Young from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an English vaudeville/music hall entertainer who recorded 5 laughing songs between 1920 and 1922 together with Al H. Weston.
Her portrait on the left is taken from a photograph (SAYRE 11334) by Apeda Studio in 1913.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
