Big George Webley

 Big George Webley was a beloved voice over the BBC for many years who often included many of his own incredible musical experiences in his late night radio program. As a session bassist, George played for recordings, television and the movies. As a composer, he wrote for many BBC broadcasts in London. His many friends included Frank Zappa, for whom he performed with on several occasions. Among the very interesting views Big George provided in his NAMM Oral History interview, he outlined what he thought were some of the most significant changes in the industry since he first began his career in the 1960s. Sadly, Big George passed away suddenly less than a month after his NAMM interview. He was just 53 years old.
