BIG GEORGE AND THE BUSINESS are a Scottish power blues rock trio with a real 'dirty' singer like Phil May from the PRETTY THINGS. Their performance of "I'd rather go blind" was reviewed by newspaper THE SCOTSMAN: "The most emotive version I've ever heard!"

Stunning - just brilliant! Regularly saw these guys in the early 90s at the pressy hall as well as a couple of Edinburgh Blues Festival appearances (one Assembly Rooms and one Cavendish Club) and elsewhere...but one of the best surprises was turning up to Buddy Guy at the Barrowlands (92?) and discovering BGB were the support ;-)

youtube just gets better & better.
used to go and see BG @ the preservation hall in edinburgh back around 92/93. glad some video of the band has managed to make it on here. so many bands of the time have long since been forgotten.
anyone know if theyre still playing?

We took guys like George for granted when we could see them in a pub in Glasgow on a Saturday afternoon.........he should have been HUGE....superb!

That's right...Stevie was the original drummer with GBL (The Glasgow Blues Legends)...GBL became Big George and the Business and Reverend Docherty and the Congregation and the bass player joined Wildcat who became Glasgow...etc...etc...
