George Formby no es solamente un icono del entertainment británico, sino que su música fue influencia fundamental en el nacimiento del skiffle inglés, estilo claramente enraizado en el Country y en el folk estadounidenses. No sería exagerado afirmar, pues, que sin Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly o Formby, jamás habría existido Lonnie Donegan.
Además, fue precursor de un instrumento del que no se suele hablar demasiado: el banjolele (o banjulele)
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

The Other Side Of The World George Formby ==========================================================================
VERSE 1
CAm Now I had a notion, while crossing the ocean, CDm That the world was anything but small. G7CAm But when I landed here, it was soon very clear, GD7G7 That it’s not so big after all,
VERSE 2 CAm Cos there’s your own kith and kin there to welcome you in, CDm On the other side of the world, DmG7 There’s the same kindly folk, who crack the same kind of joke, C On the other side of the world
BRIDGE 1
G7CC7F And if you go for a stroll you’ll see a flag on the pole, D7G7 And meet the people who kept it un - furled CG7CE7A7 And when a couples honey –doving it’s the same old kind of loving, D7G7CG On the other side of the world
VERSE 3
CAm Though we’re miles from our shore it’s like living next door, CDm On the other side of the world, G7 We’ve the same kind of names and play the same kind of games, C On the other side of the world
BRIDGE 2
G7CC7F And when the trouble is thick, like glue to - gether we’ll stick, D7G7 And we’ll keep the old banner unfurled CG7CE7A7 So it’s a very happy meeting and I bring a special greeting, D7G7C From the other side of the world

Alternative “Farewell” Chorus
I’m going back home next week way over the foam, to the other side of the world, Such nice people I’ve met I shall leave with regret, for the other side of the world, And though the rations are short, but all the food that you’ve brought, have helped to keep the old banner unfurled, So to you my thanks I’m tending for the parcels you’ve been sending, to the other side of the world
