Dear Sarah, I understand that Albert Burdon died in 1981 and that he came from somewhere in the Newcastle upon Tyne area. He recorded at least twice - here are the details; ALBERT BURDON AND COMPANY recorded London, 10th. October 1933 Albert before the Means Test Committee - parts 1 & 2 on Regal Zonophone MR-1120] ALBERT BURDON and THE AWFUL CHILD recorded London, June 1934 George Washington - parts 1 & 2 on Regal Zonophone MR-1351 Burdon did a well known stage sketch called "On the Dole", which he performed with his wife to be. He appeared in Pantomime at Newcastle's "Theatre Royal" in 1958. The records are rare, but not fabulously so! Hope this helps.
