George Formby (now known as George Formby "Senior") (1876 - February 8 1921) was the father of ukulele playing star George Formby, and a star in his own right. Formby Senior performed in the Edwardian music halls. Singing in a sardonic, naive but somehow knowing style, plagued by ill-health (he coughed blood on stage and made light of his tuberculosis) he was one of the highest paid entertainers of his day.
