Although George Elrick started his stage career as a dance band drummer, he was soon fronting his own band with his popular vocals. The songs on this CD are mainly taken from the recordings with his Swing Music Makers. For many years he hosted the popular BBC programme 'Housewives Choice' where he introduced himself as 'Mrs Elrick's wee son Georgie."
