On Thursday 24th February 2022, what would be the day before George Harrison’s 79th birthday, we share up to 10 songs he either wrote or performed (or made famous) in our weekly thematic song session.
George Harrison’s link to the ukulele is well known. In his home in Hana, on the island of Maui, he’d give away ukuleles as gifts.
How many songs did he write for the Beatles? How many were rejected? How many songs did he do on his own, after the Beatles had disbanded? What do you consider the top 20 songs of George Harrison?
As we only have time for ten songs, please choose wisely.
