Johnny J George Papavgeris, Edinburgh Folk Club (11) RE: George Papavgeris, Edinburgh Folk Club 05 Oct 13


For my sins, I don't know much about this fellow but apparently he's not the guy who owns the laundrette in East Enders where Dot Cotton works.
However, we assured that he is brilliant.

"The most prolific of creative men; the grandest of hearts and maker of songs that sear into the soul, George is unique, to say the least. His lilting accent lends a fantastic clarity to his delivery that is matched by deceptively simple guitar work. Few have written so many songs that demand your full attention and then insist, in the finest of ways, on staying with you forever." (Graham Searle)


"George is something special..."
Martin Carthy MBE

"The best thing in UK songwriting
for many a year"
Harvey Andrews

"I wasn't prepared for the emotional experience of his performance... compelling"
Bryn Phillips

"conscience with a heart
and delivery with passion"
Alison Macfarlane

"songs for tomorrow's tradition"
David Kidman
