He came through Kirkcudbright many years ago. I couldn't be sure if he was just passing through our little town, or I vaguely remember something about a jazz gathering in dumfries drill hall at the time,I think. Either way, I was brave enough to stop and bid him good afternoon. He was a lovely gentleman and listened carefully while I blabbed out that Bruce Turner (Jump band) was my uncle. He was extremely civil, and I remember him bidding me farewell as if I was a long lost friend. Respect 🙏
Met George when he was a guest at Kendal Jazz club in the 1970s , Gave him a lift from Crewe railway station . Such a nice guy with a great sense of humour as well as a brilliant musician . Mike Gates.
Met him in 1973 in Glasgow whilst he appeared at the Alhambra Theater. As a fellow Scot and trombone player, he was a big influence. I have all his LPs. He was jamming at all the local jazz pubs during his stay. He had also started a trombone duet tour project with Roy Williams from the Alex Welsh Band. George was the consummate player! Great ideas and nice wee technique with a great tone. A true original. He was one of the few Brits to be mentioned in Leonard Feather’s Encyclopedia of Jazz! A lovely gentleman! We miss you George!!!
Went to see George Chisholm with my Dad at the Brighton Dome back in either late sixties or early seventies. I believe the show was called the white heather show featuring the singer Moira Anderson and others. Dad loved it and I enjoyed it too
I saw him playing with the Yorkshire imperial metals band in Castleford sometime in the seventies. Fabulous player who didn’t take himself that serious.

I remember George well. A great musician and a very funny man...

Brilliant musician and so very funny. What memories.
Alsheimer takes the best of us George Charmaine, Carr Barbara last not least, our Grannie lord almighty go George.
He also played for ‘BLUE PETER’
Children’s Show. Brilliant.
Way back in the Fifties.
The great George. Also known to us Goon fans as Spike original "Andrew McHairy McLegs".

Trying to find some film of George doing his funny Frenchman turn. About the only thing I remember from Children's TV.
Great listening
sadly missed
