Papa George, born in London from Greek Cypriot parents, is no stranger on the UK & European blues scene. Four decades of playing “live electric and acoustic blues” and now has reputation to be reckoned with. A quote from Muddy Waters guitarist, Bob Margolin, described George as being “A powerful Deep Blues player…a spectacular blues artist. He’s got power and nuance as a master entertainer”

Inspired by The Beatles and Rolling Stones in the early 60s paved the way for George’s introduction to other British & American Rhythm n Blues greats such as, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and many other legends, providing George with a tantalizing driving force for developing his musical styles as a rock/blues performer.

George started his professional career as a guitarist/vocalist playing in clubs and bars in London. During the 70s, whilst developing his guitar & vocal skills, he formed the Papa George Band. Since then he has toured the UK and many countries in Europe the USA.

Inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame (An American Heritage, International Organization) in 2013 as a “Master Blues Artist”

Awarded as a British Blues Greats from the Blues Awards 2016 by The Cavern Freehouse, London.
