Osborn, George

Clog and rapper dancer from Earsdon, Northumberland.

Mainly known as the long-serving Captain of the Royal Earsdon Sword Dancers, George “Geordie” Osborn originally joined the team as a clog dancer.

Our knowledge of his clog dancing is derived from Alex Boydell who met him whilst in Newcastle in the 1950s.

Information from an interview with Alex Boydell on 26th May 1981.
