Mary Webb

Artists | Classical | Composers and Arrangers

Born in Leamington. Due to her husband's ill health, she went to work in a West London hospital kitchen where she befriended an Aberdeen girl, Winnie Forgie. Webb was so enchanted by the stories of Forgie's home town that she wrote a song about Aberdeen called Northern Lights (1952). The song was sent to Scots tenor Robert Wilson who liked it so much he sang it at several of his Albert Hall Concerts.
