Quenton Ashlyn
Who is Quenton Ashlyn?
J. Quenton Ashlyn was the pseudonym of society entertainer Frank Kennedy.
In his autobiography, The Mighty God and a Sinner, Kennedy describes his natural talent for music and that the concert hall and theatre greatly fascinated him. Before his entertainment career he was employed in clerical duties on a Royal Commission, but he became so successful as a society entertainer that he abandoned government service.
He composed humorous songs which achieved popularity and a wide circulation. One of his works that is still available is 'The Playful Pachyderm: Classic Miniatures for Bassoon and Orchestra', for which he composed 'The Bassoon, humorous song'.
He attended the Torrey-Alexander revival meetings at the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1905, after which he gave up the theatre life and lived as a devout Christian.
