Sheet music from the film "Bell-Bottom George" for Swim Little Fish. George is dressed in a sailor suit with a sailor's cap saying "HMS" on it, although the rest of the ship's name is not visible. George is holding his trademark banjo ukulele.

Day 28 - 🐠
Missed yesterday's challenge as it was a bit too much like shooting fish in a barrel, but here's one from George, who was mostly not a racist, serenading a (non-tropical) goldfish, Gilbert. 😊 #ukulele #GeorgeFormby

Was #GeorgeFormby a poet? I have always found #poetry in his gormless, saucy songs, and perhaps he influences my work more than I would like to admit. When I was trying out different poetic forms, he was a real source of inspiration.

A caricature of George Formby performs on stage singing and playing his banjolele.
So this is my first attempt at drawing on a tablet with a screen. What do you guys think? #georgeformby #retro #retrocartoon #cupheadstyle #rubberhose

Black and white photo of the performer George Formby, grinning and emerging from a pool of water despite being fully dressed in a suit. Text alongside him: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Pyjamas lyin' side by side... Ladies nighties I have spied. I've often seen what goes inside, when I'm cleanin' windows. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Turned out nice again, hasn't it?".

George Formby, English actor, singer-songwriter and comedian, was born on May 26, 1904 (d. 1961) in England's north, which also brought you Gracie Fields and an obscure band called The Beatles. #GeorgeFormby

'I went through a phase of playing Johnny Cash songs in the style of George Formby, for my own amusement. One night I was sat in the hotel room, singing [in Formby’s’ accent] “I’ve shot a man in Reno!” There was a bang on the wall and I realised it was like three in the morning. I felt like an […]

#TheInimitable by #GeorgeFormby (1966)
When I was young this was my musical reference. I watched George on the (b+w) telly. You'll be pleased to know my musical taste has changed. But this was where I started.

An extract from "Skiffle – The Definitive Inside Story" by Chas McDevitt. Text: Up until the post-war period, popular music was not the pastime of the very young. The record-buying public was to be found among the wage earners not the schoolkids. All this was to change. Many a paper round salary was soon to be spent on the latest record heard on the radio or at the movies. As far as I was concerned George Formby was to blame, well George Formby and his ukulele, or to be more precise his ukulele-banjo. Like thousands of kids my age I was bored with the dreariness of the popular music of the immediate post-war years. 'The Dream of Olwen' and The Warsaw Concerto were as dull as dishwater and so sentimental, as were most of the dance-band tunes of the day. George Formby's records and films made in the late 1930s and wartime years, cut a swathe through all this romantic candy-floss. As my peer group and I grew up, this string driven music found its full expression in the skiffle music of the 1950s, we realised that music could be made quite easily, and bright and cheerful music it was.
Reading Chas McDevitt skiffle history. Published in 1997 and revised in 2012, it differs from Billy Bragg's book on the subject in two major ways: many of the key participants in the movement were alive and available for interview when it was first […]
