Although this book has some of Georges famous songs it is not the complete list. There are lots more songs that could have been included which would have put the price up but lots of uke players would have paid the extra....so heres to the 2nd edition

Here's a list of all the song titles in this book:

Auntie Maggies Remedy, Chinese Laundry Blues, Fanlight Fanny, Frigid Air Fanny, Hindoo Man, I Blew A Little Blast On My Whistle, In My Little Snapshot Album, It's A Grand And Healthy Life, Leaning On A Lamp Post, Like The Big Pots Do, Little Ukulele, Mother Whatll I Do Now, Noughts And Crosses, On The Wigan Boat Express, Sitting On The Ice In The Ice Rink, Sitting On The Top Of Blackpool Tower, Swimmin With The Wimmin, The Lancashire Toreador, Theres Nothing Proud About Me, When I'm Cleaning Windows, Why Don't Woman Like Me, With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock

The music for each of the 22 songs in this book includes fully diagrammed ukulele chords, including passing chords that are played for just one beat but which make all the difference to the sound.

The selection of songs is excellent - all my favorites were there, plus many more that I had not known about before. Highly recommended.

Personally, I am a huge George Formby fan; so when I stumbled upon this songbook, I had to get it! Everything is written clearly, and it includes everything you need for each song. I have looked at it nearly every day since I got it. I am eager to learn all these songs! Finally, I should add that these are pretty advanced songs; I am a intermediate player, and I am challenged by some of these. I would recommend to anyone who is serious about learning these songs. Overall, great product, great song list!

The typography of this songbook is horrible. In many places you can't tell what the chord change is because of the bad typesetting. I was really disappointed with this selection. I was going to send it back but I kept it just for the limited number of songs that I can read and sing. Try another song book but don't buy this one...save your money.

Absolutely delighted with the song book, delivered very promptly and was well packed. Not the first time I've purchased from Amazon and it sure won't be the last. Sylvia

What a marvellous contribution to my windsock this pamphlet has made. The tale of Biffo the Twig and some musty crab sticks. Everyone's favorite gumshoe, Biffo, has a case to solve. Madame Gergerger has been murdered and there is no motive or clues except for a note from Horace Mcmcmc saying I did it!! This is a real page turner, mainly due to the robotic hand supplied by the publishers.
