William Southcombe Lloyd Webber

Andrew's father William Southcombe Lloyd Webber (1914–1982) was an organist and composer, and was the Director of the London College of Music from 1964 until his death in 1982.

William Lloyd Webber's music has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, perhaps owing to the fame of his sons, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Julian Lloyd Webber. Andrew's Requiem was composed in memory of his father.
