I thought I'd start this thread to share with other fans/anyone interested in the great George Formby Jnr (26 May 1904 – 6 March 1961).
This gentleman came from the place where I was born and live (Wigan) and was born approximately a mile away from where I live - I include a photo of a plaque to commemorate this.
Anyhow, more on the man and his music later, but for now I just thought I'd let you know - I'm on a mission!
George was buried in Warrington Cemetery in Cheshire - not too far way from Wigan (I work there as a matter of fact) - I've got the day off work today, so myself and my two Border Collies Rosie & Trixie are going to visit this gents grave.
Photos to follow.
I'd like to say it's "turned out nice again" - but the weather's rotten - raining and cold, but it shall not deter us from our quest!
See you later!
Neil.
