She taught Jo Graham of Blyth.
In the 1920s she performed as a trio with her father and and Kit Haggerty. They would stand in a row with Kit in the middle, all start together and then do a step each in turn. They would do perhaps 10 steps in all.
Lily was able to teach the IRT five of her father’s steps.
The information above derives from interviews with Kit Haggerty on 18/10/1980, Lily Farrell on 4/4/1981, and Dickie’s son Wheaty Farrell, and an unnamed informant on 11/10/1980.
