George Borowski is a Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter from Manchester in the north of England. His songs reflect on love, rock 'n' roll, injustice, loss and rock 'n' roll. His one man live act is renowned the world over, and has caused rock luminaries and the proles alike to stand open mouthed in wonder. And that's not the only reason he's so well renowned...

In 1978, Dire Straits singer and guitarist Mark Knopfler penned Sultans of Swing, the third verse urging the listener 'Check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords'. Knopfler's inspiration for this came from seeing George Borowski on stage at a club in Manchester.
"We had the job of opening for the bands at a place called Rafters." George remembers. "When Dire Straits played, Mark Knopfler came over to me and said, 'That's a great guitar sound you've got. How come you don't play solos?' The thing is, I can't really play solos, I just play chords.
"He had a go on my guitar; it was a piece of plywood with two pick-ups and a reject neck, but it sounded teriffic. I said 'You can have it if you want, it's only worth eighteen quid.' And he was like , 'Oh no, no, I can't take it.' That was about the long and short of it, really."
Since being enshrined forever in the Dire Straits back catalogue, George continued to play, touring the world with a number of bands, including Meatloaf, Tina Turner, James, David Essex, Teenage Fanclub, The Pixies and Radiohead.

His one-man live act is famous all over England. An eagerly awaited second album is due out this summer, the tracks here give a taster of what is to come.
