BIG GEORGE was a noted Scottish guitarist who died in 2015 of serious injuries after the fire at his home in Glasgow. George Watt's real name was born in 1958 and died in April 2013. He was 55 years old. It was in the 1990s that his status exceeded that of Scotland and allowed him to tour Europe and the United States.
BIG GEORGE & THE BUSINESS has become one of the leading Scottish blues groups. He begins to play and sing in the bars of Glasgow, where he builds a sound and the United States, country of the Blues, to play and make a name, but never get there. At the Montreal Blues Festival in 1992, he will be alongside stars like Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy and Jobert Lockwood Jr., but this brings him nothing by his international reputation.
His heroes Jimi Hendrix, Paul Kossof and especially Rory Gallagher. A musician recognizes his talent, Jim Dewar, former Stone The Crows and especially Robin Trower. They played together for four years before the illness weakened Jim Dewar too much. His small reputation allows him to perform in Europe and Scandinavia. BIG GEORGE & THE BUSINESS performs the first part of Buddy Guy in Glasgow in 1992.
He also plays with former Marillion vocalist: Fish. BIG GEORGE is an honorary member of the Mohawk tribe during one of his Canadian tours. In 2008, BIG GEORGE suffered an attack, the group is placed in forced resting.
BIG GEORGE was slow to recover, when in January 2013, he is saved from a fire at his home by a neighbor but spends a lot of time on intensive care. The family lost all their property. Surrounded by his wife and daughter, BIG GEORGE can leave in peace with himself and his family, to join the huge Fertile Great Spirit Pastures.
