D\u00e9cidemment c’est la journ\u00e9e, en cherchant des nouvelles sur BIG GEORGE<\/strong> <\/span>que je suis tomb\u00e9 sur Jack Bruce<\/strong>. La vie est ainsi faite, on ne choisit ni ceux qui restent, ni ceux qui partent. J’ai d\u00e9couvert BIG GEORGE<\/strong> <\/span>par un pote fou des ann\u00e9es 70′<\/strong>\u00a0, et de leur musique, il y \u00e0 une vingtaine d’ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de 55<\/strong> ans.\u00a0 C’est dans les ann\u00e9es 90′<\/strong> que son statut a d\u00e9pass\u00e9 celui de l’Ecosse<\/strong><\/em>, et lui permet de faire des tourn\u00e9es en Europe<\/strong><\/em> et aux Etats-Unis<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

BIG GEORGE & THE BUSINESS<\/strong> <\/span>\u00e9tait devenu un des groupes majeurs de Blues Ecossais<\/strong><\/em>. Il commence \u00e0 jouer et \u00e0 chanter, dans les bars de Glasgow<\/strong><\/em>, o\u00f9 il se forge un son, et \u00e0 partir aux Etats-Unis<\/strong><\/em>, pays du Blues<\/strong><\/em> pour jouer et se faire un nom, mais sans jamais y arriver vraiment.\u00a0 Au Festival de Blues de Montr\u00e9al<\/strong> <\/em><\/span>en 1992<\/strong>, il sera aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de stars comme Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Guy, Jobert Lockwood Jr.<\/strong><\/em> Sans que cela lui rapporte quoi que ce soit quant \u00e0 sa notori\u00e9t\u00e9 internationale.<\/p>\n

Un musicien reconnait son talent, Jim Dewar<\/strong><\/em><\/span>, ex-Stone The Crows<\/strong> <\/em>et surtout Robin Trower<\/strong><\/em>. Ils jou\u00e8rent ensemble durant quatre ans avant que la maladie n’ affaiblisse trop Jim Dewar<\/strong><\/em>. Sa petite r\u00e9putation lui permet de se produire en Europe<\/strong><\/em> et en Scandinavie<\/strong><\/em>. BIG GEORGE & THE BUSINESS<\/strong> <\/span>assure la premi\u00e8re partie de Buddy Guy<\/strong> <\/em>\u00e0 Glasgow<\/strong><\/em> en 1992<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
