Tam and "Big George" onstage


Glasgow legend George Ross Watt aka "Big George" became one of Jimmy's closest friends both on and off stage. George is a fiery guitarist and has a voice that can keep up with the best crooners around. His played in Jimmy's band called "Adults Only" for approximately four years before Jimmy;s health began to fail. Their friendship had grown quite strong over those several years and George was the person chosen to deliver a touching eulogy at Jimmy's funeral. No one is likely to miss Jimmy more than George.

 

In 1987, following his time playing with Jimmy, George formed his own band called "Big George and The Business" with Greg Orr on Drums and Tam (Slainte, Shifty) McLucas on Bass. After years of extensive touring and several album releases George has suffered some health difficulties of his own. We all wish him a speedy and complete recovery. With the assistance of Tam and our good buddy Richard Devlin we will receive tidbits from George beginning with the last song that Jimmy ever recorded "My Father's Eyes". This is a page I am proud to present.

Thanks and get well soon George!   CK
