'William Tell Overture'
A firm favourite on the George Formby Society stage at Blackpool is Fred Stevenson or, as his stage name would have it, Steve "Uke" Henson. Here is the great man captured in all his vocal glory and, of course, playing one of his own fine handmade ukes. Again, the tracks are as follows:
1. Oh, lonesome me
2. I saw her standing there
3. Leaning on a lamp post
4. She taught me how to yodel
The CD costs £6 including UK p&p
My pal Mike Turner has been into the recording studio and
produced a great new CD of his interpretation of some of George
Formby's classics ( Ten songs in all ). Tracks include
"Leaning on a lamppost", "When I'm cleaning
windows", "T.T races" and many more. This CD is
now available.
It costs £8 ( this includes postage and packing to UK
addresses.)
Mark Walsh sings 11 Formby favourites. Includes Auntie Maggie's Remedy, Down the Old Coal Hole, Licence etc. The CD costs £8 ( this includes postage and packing to UK addresses.) It is endorsed by George's brother Ted Formby. This is the quote from Ted which is printed on the rear cover of the CD. " On hearing this CD for the first time , I was amazed at the quality of the recordings and although I have seen him perform many times at Blackpool, it took me a while to realise that I was actually listening to Mark playing and not my brother George. Mark's banjolele playing is terrific, as it always is. " Praise indeed !
