One of them caught George Harrison strumming away, and said to him, ‘Oi, that’s enough of that, sonny’. Someone else piped up, ‘Don’t you know that’s George Harrison from the Beatles’, and this bloke just responded, ‘I don’t care if he’s George Formby, this isn’t the place for music’.”
1-When George Formby was bigger than the Beatles (story told by Woolly Wolstenholme of the band Barclay James Harvest):
“When we first worked at Abbey Road Studios, there were all these technicians walking round wearing white lab coats and looking self-important. You could see them looking at us and thinking, ‘Long-haired layabouts. When are you gonna get proper jobs?’,” he once recalled of the band’s early recording sessions at the famed studios.
I love how in George's movies the movie literally just pauses and he going into performance mode, including breaking the 4th wall with the camera wink! His films never took themselves seriously, just good old fashioned entertainment!

Charming man. I love the smile on his face while he's playing. Wish I could find a way to watch some of his movies.
Great song, one of my favourites. Can't wait to get my own banjo uke ^^
