hi

I am another old enough to remember George.

Latterly in his life he lived just down the road from me; near the Mere Golf & Country Club.

Alan he may have tipped your father well but around here his wife had a reputation as being "mean".

She was his manager for much of his performing life and it was said that she inspired him and encouraged him to entertain. She was a clog-dancing champion and I believe ( according to my father) that Beryl had a great act with her sister before she met George.

As to whether he plated the ukele or the "banjolele" or the "ukelebanjo, maybe he played all three?? He used to have a number of different instruments on stage when he performed.

Certainly George is still well remembered and revered here in his native North West of England.

Cheers

Mike
