New page

'''George Fradley:''' had been raised in a musical family.  Most of the family were entertainers in one way or another and the family ran a troupe of performers that sang and performed humorous sketches in local village halls.  George knew all sorts of songs, from classic Child ballads to songs from the 1920s.  You can hear him singing ''Last New Year’s Eve'' and ''The Two Sisters'' on Veteran VTC4CD and a further eight songs are scheduled to be released on forthcoming Veteran CDs.
