Little
George of Greek origin was born in the UK.
In the eighties he decided to make London his home and from there he began
to build a solid reputation as a dedicated Blues & Soul man. His love
for downhome blues included the likes of Jimmy Reed, Snooky Pryor, J.B. Hutto
& Muddy Waters, not to mention some of the great soul blues artists like
Johnnie Taylor, Clay Hammond & Sam Cooke. After sometime he joined forces
with the like minded & wonderful 'Big
Joe Louis & His Blues Kings' and very quickly they became well known
as being one of the toughest blues teams around. Whilst paying his dues as
Big Joe's Harp player touring all over the world, he also featured as a vocalist
and soon became known as one of the U.K.'s finest and unusual blues singers
and not suprisingly began running his own band as well as playing with Big
Joe and then went on to win the 'Blueprint' magazine "Harp Player
Of The Year" award 3 times.
Eventually it became obvious that there was not enough time to meet the commitments
of both bands and decided to make his own way after a fabulous 12 year run
with Big Joe.
In the year 2000 Little George recorded an album for Pussycat Records and
had the great pleasure of having two blues legends to guest with him:- Lazy
Lester & Jimmy Thomas.
This CD was released in the beginning
of 2001 and has received high acclaim from all the music magazines, 'Mojo'
magazine made it their "Essential Blues CD" and included as one
of their top 5 picks of the year!
This album has been a best seller for many stores and is now becoming a hit
in the U.S.A.
Little George has also performed for many radio shows, guesting for Charlie
Gillett,John Peel,

This 3 times award winner has a very downhome style and soulful voice of which
some people have likened to Ted Taylor, J.B. Lenoir and even Little Willie
John, but whilst drawing on his many influences, he does it his own way.
