Bryants' Minstrels

“William Dwyer, who made his bow with Bryants’ Minstrels on May 24th, as a balladist, was formerly with the Hibernian Minstrels, who appeared in this city some months since. He possesses a pleasing voice, combining sweetness, flexibility, pathos and power, and free from florid or extraneous ornamentation. In the first part he sang ‘Blue Eyed Nelly,’ which was received with considerable applause, and in the olio the ballad of ‘Shylie Bawn’ was given. Business continued very good the past week. Unsworth gave the banjo solo, and sang ‘Tinkling on the Banjo.’ The act called ‘The two Gen d’Armes,’ by Dan Bryant and Nelse Seymour, keeps the bills and is nightly encored.”
