Just reading the biography of George.

Apparently George Snr got his first big break courtesy of Belle Elmore (Dr Crippen's wife)/. She got him his first London agent.

Experts weren't really expecting George's act to work with southern audiences, but apparently, it did really well. Starting the Formby fortune.

You have to wonder how many other people who gave musicians their start subsequently got murdered.
