About George Burton

George has literally been playing in bands “forever” and has gained a wealth of experience on the live circuit and in the recording studio. Song-writing has been an important creative outlet for George ever since he figured out how to play his second chord. A self-taught guitarist, he soon moved onto piano, drums, bass, vocals, and more recently the ukulele and sitar! George works as a solo artist, bringing musicians into each project "as and when required". He developed his skills as a studio engineer and producer during his time as a band member and key driver of their musical project and his intuitive flair in both areas is evident in the quality of recorded output. George has also worked as a radio producer and engineer in sessions with international artists such as Paul Weller, Crowded House, Joan Baez, Gabriel and Norman 'Fatboy Slim' Cook, during the Freakpower period. Recently, George was chosen from almost 6000 artist entries as a top ten finalist at the prestigious ‘O2 Undiscovered’ competition, where he performed ‘Hey There’ from his “1965” album live in front of a notable panel of industry heavy weights, including Simon Gavin head of A&R at Polydor/AM, Lisa Verrico (The Times), Paul Jones (ex Elastica) and Music Week editor, Ajax Scott.
