Striking up childhood frienships with Andrew Ridgeley and David Austin plus cousin Andros that would last him a life time. George was very shy and self concious about the way he looked and didn't start going out dancing until he was 15 or 16 when he had seen Saturday Night Fever. Gerge was interested in music at an early age listening to Tom Jones and The Supremes records and playing the drums.George forged his friendship with Andrew due to their similar sense of humour and interest in music especially Elton John. As george entered his teens his interest in women started and even started two-timing girls, which would be the inspiration for 'Careless Whisper',. As school work played second fiddle to music, George formed a Ska band called 'The Executive' with Andrew and a few other friends. He dropped out of A'Level music, but passed English and Art, and the band also fell apart leaving George to try again, and with style.
