"Thursday Next"???? Does anyone really care that he makes an appearance in this obscure fantasy series? I mean, he makes appearances in other fiction I could cite, but it doesn't seem very relevant somehow. 23:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted edit
George Formby appeared as himself in the 100th epidode of The Matthew Barnard Show along side such celebrities as George Michael and Garry Glitter. ???? George Michael and Garry Glitter? Methinks someone taketh the pith. Pattenicus
- Although this was obviously a piss-take, it would not have been impossible for Formby and Gliter to have appeared on the same bill as Formby continued to appear on stage until the 1950s and Glitter's career began in the 1950s when he was a teenager (under different names). At the time, their musical styles were perhaps not so different as people might imagine. DavidFarmbrough 08:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Instrument
It is well documented that George Formby played a ukulele, however when looking at pictures he is playing a banjo... would someone like to clarify this please.
- He plays the ukulele as well as the ukulele banjo.
- And the banjo ukelele and the banjolele! DavidFarmbrough 08:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone have dates for the partial discography?DavidFarmbrough 08:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
It seems at some stage this article had a photo of George because its listed in google Images. It would be nice to have at least one photo of him. Maybe the one at [1] or as an older man at [2]. --
