July '97: I'm taking the liberty here of quoting a long passage
from the WOMAD
2002 Festival Official Programme: He joined the hardworking and hard playing Big Joe Louis & His Blues Kings as vocalist and harp player and toured all over the UK, Europe and the World. As time went on, Little George’s voice began to win it's own dedicated coterie of fans and he decided to form his own band, whilst keeping his slot with Big Joe Louis. Blueprint magazine conferred their ‘Harp Of The Year’ award on him for three years running. |
