@tehhorror Such words were considered very tsboo in the 40's. In fact, any such referrence wouldn't be allowed by trhe censors of the time, which, if you think about it, is why so many of George Formby's songs rely on innuendo so much. Some of which are very cleverly done.
I am English by birth but brought up in Southern ~Africa and I knew all the George Formby songs when I was 18 or so due to a stepfather who played guitar and uke and his friend who did George Formby - and really looked the part too! I think he was brilliant and should be more seen in entertainment. We had 3 ukes in the house but who knows what happened to them.
i like george he bought aloy of moral to this country while briraish troops were dieing for there country and that a gift u can never repay !! go on george ,,,,

This Here My BIOLOGICAL GRANDFATHER,glad to Finally come to CONSENCUS-this was a Wriddle for Me since My Mother Died 2004 at 26th December,killed By Swedish Doctors,by Highly Overdozis for Months,of Cortisone.She knew to Much,and the Swedish Nazty Doctors did not like the Man,Formby,who helped Sunk TIRPIZ
No, it's just the same skills for all of them. It's true that, in some films, he plays an ordinary Hawaiian ukulele, but that and the banjo-uke have the same tuning and so on, so it is pretty much like electric/acoustic guitar :)
Er, firstly LOL at your garbled sentence. Secondly, is having a different opinion from yours really enough to warrant being called a dumb shit? No it isn't.
Just because modern guitar music evolved from older styles doesn't mean that one has to like them.
he made 21 films i posess 20 . good old george r.i.p.

he plays both the ukelele and the banjo, hes a musical genius!
Ilikenuman 3 years ago
He didn't play the banjo. What he played was the banjo-ukulele (or banjolele). The actual banjo is much bigger, and more complicated to play.
BenBanjo87 2 years ago 2
in some videos he appears to be playing seperate instruments, do they require different skills to play both or is it like electric/acoustic guitar?
Ilikenuman 2 years ago
No, it's just the same skills for all of them. It's true that, in some films, he plays an ordinary Hawaiian ukulele, but that and the banjo-uke have the same tuning and so on, so it is pretty much like electric/acoustic guitar :)

George Formby, a funny, likeable everyday clown was a also a world class musician on that little banjo plaything of his.
In his acts he always gave the thumbs up. What would he have thought about present days "gangsta attitude"?
