George Formby - When We Feather Our Nest video free download

Both George and his father, George senior, were on the music hall/variety circuit for many years. George senior never appeared in any feature films but his son was around at just the right time to have been called to action for a series of films which were very entertaining. He was a great morale booster during WW II when he entertained the troops on many occasions. I only saw him live on stage on a couple of occasions and one of the those was with my late father at the Metropolitan in the Edgware Road in the early '50s. The Metropolitan was famous for having featured in the film 'The Blue Lamp' which starred Jack Warner as George Dixon. The theatre was a bit of a throw back to the old music hall in that you could stand in the bar and have a drink while still watching the acts on stage. I don't know of any theatres where you can do that now. The site is now occupied by the Metropole Hotel.

@myfavtipple ok 1904.....yeah, he could have been in vaudville. That era probably went into the 1920s? I'll have to look that up.....the Vaudeville era

Mark Casey

@inkey2 He was born in 1904 so I guess he would have just been around for Vaudeville.

inkey2

was he old enough to have been on the Vaudeville stage? I play uke and I happened upon this. He just seems have that old vaudeville persona

Good clip from a fun film. Odd how the uke case closes automatically when in Mary's hand at the beginning though - never noticed it before.

I heard this many years ago and never knew how to get it or what it was from. Thanks. He was such a light, pleasant fellow in the movies. No wonder he was popular.
