Hi Katy,I would like to know who the "Georgie Davies" referred to in the song "Friends Of Mine" is. Thanks, Chris

HI CHRIS. HERE IS THE DEAL STRAIGHT FROM SIMON

"George Davies was controversially convicted in the 70s. After years of lobbying for his acquittal by the "free George Davies" campaign he was released in the mid 80s. Within a year he was arrested and tried for armed robbery his conviction was not contested and still stands. I believe he may have died recently."
