The George Formby Songbook: P/V/G with Ukulele Paperback – 19 Jan. 1985

These songs are such fun. Full piano parts, with lyrics and ukulele "shapes". With the uke making a significant comeback these days, this book would make a good present for the player who is looking for a challenge. These are not "easy" arrangements, but quite playable with practice.

I must for every George Formby fan and ukulele/banjo player - a good selection of his popular songs with words, music and those all-important chord-diagrams. My only criticism is that it only contains twenty-two songs and some of my own, particular favourites, such as 'Our Sergeant-Major', 'I'm The Ukulele Man' and 'Grandad's Flannelette Night Shirt' are not included. Still, a good buy and a cracking good selection nonetheless!

Very useful book, sheet music for many of the great man's most popular works complete with chord boxes for ukulele. Just bear in mind that for about half of the tunes you'll have to use D or Eb uke tunings in order for the suggested fingerings to come out in the written key (as indicated in the book), or work out your own uke chords from the symbols provided (good exercise!). But a valuable addition to any ukulele library all the same.

My father ordered this, along with his ukulele, to learn to play. He say's it is very easy to follow.

Iformation required supplied, delivery bang on ,I was looking for " Leaning on the lampost @ the corner of the street in case a certain little lady comes by" now got it Thank,s

The print on some of the songs was very small, Also the quality of printing not great on some songs the chord boxes were quite hard to read.

Not only does this have the sheet music for the song it also has the has the cords to use and how Formby did it. This is a great teaching tool, i would reconmend it.

If you're looking for a book that has the complete musical transcription and lyrics of a lot of his songs, this is for you. As a songbook it is very detailed. Notes and nice chord boxes.It doesn't however have any information on split, fan or triplet strokes; and doesn't even mention them. Also none of the fabulous solo's are there. So if you are looking for a book with those, you probably shouldn't buy this book as it's certainly not a tutorial!Seeing as I hoped at least a bit of this kind of stuff would be in this book, it will probably sit in the closet for some time before I will use it. I will keep it, because its good and an asset to every ukulele or banjolele enthousiast; but in all honesty would probably not have bought it (yet) knowing this.
