Query re The Royal Bogie Banjo march by W. Nice.

I came across the front cover of this tune whilst browsing Pinterest, it was published in London so I guess the composer may be British. So far, I haven't been able to find any info on the web, does anyone know of this?...Steve.

I remember that Tarrant Bailey Jnr had a banjo marked 'W Nice' so he might appear in Sharpe's list of banjo makers in the B.M.G.

I believe I might have some more compositions by this elusive W. Nice, let me check my computer this evening.

I have also remembered that he sang a song called 'She Greases Her Socks with Margarine', I may have a copy of the front cover of the sheet music which features Mr. Nice playing his banjo. I'll try to find it tomorrow.

Hello Steve, Sorry, I haven't got any of them, I just went through the Turner BB list of banjo solos and found the titles. There may be others which I didn't see. I remembered the song, because of its unusual title but I only have the front cover.
