After leaving school at 9 years old, George has used writing and performing as his way of connecting with people. Gaining popularity through his ardent lyricism and attention to detail, George has been able to play all over the UK, with multiple sold-out shows, and a growing fanbase who continue to be mesmerised by his story telling and the way he holds every stage he stands on. Starting out with busking, and pub venues, Alfie has gone on to open and play festivals in Hampshire, and Lancashire, as well as hosting many gigs around England, always giving new bands and artists opportunities to play. George describes himself as a mix between Sam Fender and Ben Howard, which you can hear particularly in his latest singles Aphrodite (19,387 Spotify streams), Tell a Lie (18,406 Spotify streams) and 'Night Creatures' (19,758 Spotify Streams). Giving his unique take on life & relationships through his music, George delivers warming acoustic sets overflowing with heart and charm, as well as working with his bandmates to bring his originals to life with intricate guitar licks, and iconic drum fills. George's sets are also filled with some epic covers, that he and his band expertly rearrange, bringing a new spin to the music - 'Careless Whisper' being a fan favourite. George wants to "create space for people to be seen, to make sure no one feels like a ghost in a room full of people". For George, this transcends beyond his gigs - through him and into his following, he shows that these feelings can be universal.
