Reading some of the letters to UK papers with George memories reminds me of our favourite Melly Moment.
We went to see him once at a London venue which had been a strip club and was about to be reconverted back to a theatre. He & the Feetwarmers did a Sunday concert. The band played his introduction and a large "birdcage" descended from the flies bearing George camping it up ( it was 30 years ago but I seem to remember a feather boa!). He stepped out up to the mike and as the cage ascended again he gestured to it and said, wistfully: "It's still warm" !
