composer/arranger pseudonyms

[satchmo shaz]

hi all, just wondered if anyone knows of any pseudonyms of BB composers and arrangers, I know that H.R. Moreton was Harry Mortimer and I know that Rimmer had Pseudonyms, are there any others? :wink:

 

[The Cornet King]

Goff Richards i believe wrote Demelza under the pseudonym Hugh Nash.

I know not of any others though.

Believe Edward Gregson wrote some stuff as Robert Eaves .......... ?

 

[Neil Bowden]

There's an arranger called Bernard Hazelgrove - surely this is a pseudonym? :?:

 

[PeterBale]

Major Rickets (can't think which one - there were two brothers) wrote as Kenneth Alford;

Peter Warlock was the pseudonym for Philip Heseltine, and Bernard Shaw wrote articles - not music - under the name "Corno di bassetto".

 

[Straightmute]

Gordon Langford is really Gordon Coleman

[Will the Sec]

And I'm Simon McEtooperelar.

 

[Janet Watkins]

Edrich Siebert (1903-84) was Stanley Smith-Masters in real life!

Believe Edward Gregson wrote some stuff as Robert Eaves .......... ?

Yeah I heard that too, Rhapsody for Sop being one of the pieces

 

[James Yelland]

Robert Eaves is indeed Edward Gregson.

I saw very recently - possibly here at TMP - that Morley Calvert was a nom-de-plume for Meinhart Boekel. I can hardly believe it, but am prepared to be convinced by someone who knows better. :?: Perhaps it was posted on the Dutch equivalent of April Fool's Day?

I knew Morley Calvert personally, and it was his real name.
