GFS On Barrymore - 1992

This show featured Michael Davis who was the youngest playing member of the GFS in 1991/2 and received plenty of attention at that time. Also, many of the southern members of the GFS appear at the end of the clip along with Dennis Taylor. There is a nice shot of a young Andy Eastwood at 05:18. If you read issues of the Vellum for 1992, members were a little disgruntled at the lack of coverage that the GFS received from this show but who can complain at six minutes thirty seconds? You can read all about this and everything else about the GFS history by following this link. www.georgeformbysocietyshop.c...
