George on George

January 9th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Russell Davies’ metal post demands a response. So here’s a programme about George Formby. Lots of good archive material (including stories of Formby’s remarkable bravery entertaining troops on the front in wartime Italy) and a slightly random bit of George Harrison, who was a fan. The show (which I hijacked in June 2005) is presented by one of the other Russell Davieses (MP3).

Presenter: Russell Davies
Listen: [MP3]

    great post. guilty soft spot for Formby, and Harrison inspired me to buy a Uke when I heard that he always carried two in case someone else needed one.

    really enjoyed this show
