George Formby senior rose from a childhood of Dickensian poverty to become one of the elite comedians of the music hall world. But behind his hard-won respectability was a secret he took with him to the grave...
When sixteen-year old George began to follow in his father's footsteps he found the going hard. His luck changed when he married Beryl and took up the ukulele. George Formby junior, with his ear-to-ear smile and cheerful catchphrase, went on to become an international star.
This candid biography recreates in rich detail the worlds of the two music hall aristocrats, using family archives and many never-before-seen photographs, and reveals the men behind the myths.
