Little George of Greek origin was born in the UK.

In the eighties he decided to make London his home and from there he began to build a solid reputation as a dedicated Blues & Soul man. His love for downhome blues included the likes of Jimmy Reed, Snooky Pryor, J.B. Hutto & Muddy Waters, not to mention some of the great soul blues artists like Johnnie Taylor, Clay Hammond & Sam Cooke. After sometime he joined forces with the like minded & wonderful 'Big Joe Louis & His Blues Kings' and very quickly they became well known as being one of the toughest blues teams around. Whilst paying his dues as Big Joe's Harp player touring all over the world, he also featured as a vocalist and soon became known as one of the U.K.'s finest and unusual blues singers and not suprisingly began running his own band as well as playing with Big Joe and then went on to win the 'Blueprint' magazine "Harp Player Of The Year" award 3 times.

Eventually it became obvious that there was not enough time to meet the commitments of both bands and decided to make his own way after a fabulous 12 year run with Big Joe.

In the year 2000 Little George recorded an album for Pussycat Records and had the great pleasure of having two blues legends to guest with him:- Lazy Lester & Jimmy Thomas.
This CD was released in the beginning of 2001 and has received high acclaim from all the music magazines, 'Mojo' magazine made it their "Essential Blues CD" and included as one of their top 5 picks of the year!
This album has been a best seller for many stores and is now becoming a hit in the U.S.A.
Little George has also performed for many radio shows, guesting for Charlie Gillett,John Peel,
Jools Holland and Paul Jones!

This 3 times award winner has a very downhome style and soulful voice of which some people have likened to Ted Taylor, J.B. Lenoir and even Little Willie John, but whilst drawing on his many influences, he does it his own way.
