EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the charismatic and comedic presence of George Formby, a beloved British entertainer, as he poses with the sheet music cover for his hit song "Noughts and Crosses." Dating back to the 1930s, around 1938, this image captures Formby in his element, exuding confidence and playful energy. The song "Noughts and Crosses," written by Roma Campbell-Hunter and Harry Parr-Davies, became a popular tune during this era, and Formby's rendition showcased his exceptional talent as a singer and comedian. Formby, with his distinctive moustache and signature banjo ukelele, was a household name in the United Kingdom during the 1930s. His unique blend of music and comedy resonated with audiences, making him a beloved figure in British entertainment. The sixpence price tag on the sheet music cover reflects the affordability of this form of entertainment during the time, making it accessible to the masses. The black and blue color palette of the cover adds to its vintage charm, transporting us back to a bygone era. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of George Formby and the impact he had on popular culture during the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of the power of music and entertainment to bring joy and connection to people, regardless of the passage of time.
