Today 26th April is DJ George’s Birthday.

As many of you know Ian Dalton has been keeping alive George’s memory for 5 years usually on memorable dates.

"George had many talents and also wrote poetry, one poignant poem was read at his funeral.

George describes his feelings as an adult looking back at the tender age of eight years, lost and alone.

He and other siblings were taken into care and abandoned by his parents who only visited him once before they left him in a care home for good.

This is one of George’s many life stories of which he has many.
I have for some time been piecing together his history, his story, his friend’s, leading up to him becoming a very talented artist and beyond.

Many of you have lots of memories which form part of his life story and may want to share this, if so please feel free to DM me, Ian.

Some have already reached out and the response has been heartfelt, thank you.

Today I will share drinks with all of George’s genuinely great Friends and remember today and 27.10.17."

“A legend, long May he be remembered”

Ace new band alert - Holy Youth Movement - members of the band were Klub Kute regulars at The Cooler in the late 00s with DJ George, and more recently seen at Department S Club Night Bristol with John the Mod. You'll hear lots of different influences, but there's also an exciting freshness about this tune & band, turn it up loud! One to watch 🎸👊

Hey Kandi & Kute kids - if you need something to make you smile today, this is it! - one of DJ George's favourite bands - plus there's more tunes out there. They played back in 2007 and were fantastic 🎸

A little like The Kooks

It should be a great show full of classics like "12 Reasons" and "Sparkle" along with tracks from their first new album in 19 years!

Anyone guess which year George wrote this amazing review? For bonus points name the band and the single too... "The sound itself; jeeze, let me see, think The Bravery kidnapped and tortured by Friendly Fires, or Lou Reed on speed fronting The Klaxons. It is a powerful mixture of pounding drum beats, guitars and keyboards delivered with the force of a lightning bolt. Chuck all the above into a blender, add some trance beats then pour in a measure of white noise. Set the blender to best track released this month and when finished pour the result into your ears."
