Wham! Bam! Here I am!

George and his friend Andrew Ridgeley landed themselves a record deal thanks to a friend of the latter.

Andrew said: "We were a product of new wave and punk. So we touted our songs around and got no responses but Mark Dean, who was a friend of mine socially, he worked in the music business and I kept haranguing him to listen to the tape and he called us up to meet us, waked through door and offered us a record deal. That was big!"
