Zoomers on bbc radio 2
Paul's Socially Distanced Pre-Christmas Party
On Sunday, 20 December 2020 the George
Formby Society and in particular the Zoom Virtual
Thrash team were given a priceless publicity boost
on BBC Radio 2’s “Paul O’Grady’s Socially
Distanced Pre-Christmas Party”.
This was all thanks to Ace Zoomer Jim Makin, who took the
trouble to write to Paul recently, telling him about our nightly
Zoom meetings since lockdown in March.
A mention on the UK’s most popular radio station at a prime-
time listening hour is a treat indeed and congratulations not
just from the Zoomers but also GFS members everywhere
should go to Jim.
Items like this are so very valuable to the GFS. Hearing our
name and that of George Formby is all that we can do to
keep the great man and our Society in the public eye.
With such a bleak year in 2020, we have so much ground to
make up in 2021 to keep George Formby in the spotlight. It
will be the Society’s 60th anniversary year and to get the
GFS talked about all over the UK’s media outlets, is what it is
all about.
Jim Makin has shown the way!
Listen to the clip from Paul's Socially
Distanced Pre-Christmas Party.
