Damn I was hoping to see my late Uncle Joe Tafe, He was friends with Ray Bernard . Not sure whether he was in the society in the 60`s but I know he was in the 70`s and 80`s. Joe was well known in the GFS

This is wonderful, I have never seen people, so obviously enjoying themselves as in the group shots.
Thanks so much for posting this.

These people at the end show such joy. There was a similar documentary on TV about 20 years ago about the George Formby society's annual get-together. There was footage of them playing along with a film, and they seemed to be having a fantastic time.

I worked for Bill Logan at his Carlisle garage from 1962- 1966. He used to stand in the showroom playing George Formby songs.Bill also had a garage in Albany Street London. Does anyone know when Bill Logan died?
All his personal cars had private number plates WL1 etc including his Rolls Royce which he let me drive occasionally when he was tired on trips to London shuffling cars from garage to garage.

Fantastic Video 5 stars
Lovely to hear even more of good old George Formby (or at least people playing his music)
Interesting to see the footage of Blackpool in the 60s

At 1:31 (centre/dark hair) and 5:23 is my wonderful Grandfather, George Ogden. He performed for many years on the club scene (as Al Christie and Eddie Bond) performing comedy and classic Formby numbers on his uke! And I am very happy to add that he still breaks out one of his ukes every now and then to entertain the family with a few of his favourite songs! Amazing for me to see him in his heyday.
