The Eight Lancashire Lads
- The Eight Lancashire Lads
The Eight Lancashire Lads were a troupe of young male dancers who toured the Music Halls of Great Britain in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their main type of dance was tap. Fact|date=February 2007
They were founded by Bill Cawley and J.W. (William) Jackson (1863-1940) of Wigan, Lancashire and the first troupe consisted of their own children. Fact|date=February 2007 As they became more successful, they recruited other members - such as Charlie Chaplin, who got his first professional break with them at the age of eight. Many say this is what got Charlie's name out in the open and was the start of his successful career. Fact|date=February 2007
