George Logan
George Logan was born on 7 July 1944 in Rutherglen, Scotland, to a musical and theatrical family. He was educated at the Royal Scottish Academy Glasgow and Glasgow University, trained as a classical pianist and has a particular interest in opera and vocal music.
After leaving Glasgow, Logan worked in London as a computer programmer, but continued to use his piano skills around the London clubs and pubs, accompanying the stage acts. In 1970 he met and became friends with Patrick Fyffe, and together they formed Hinge and Bracket, making their first appearance in 1972.
Logan applied his formal training to producing all the musical arrangements for the act. Mainly because of the atypical vocal range of the performers, most of Hinge and Bracket's material required transposition or adaptation for performance.
Logan frequented the Toucan club and the Piano Bar in Soho, where he would hold court with his many tales of showbiz high jinks.
After the death of his stage partner, and a few seasons of pantomime, he retired from the stage in 2004. Having, like his stage counterpart Evadne, "the advantage of French", as well as an interest in fine food and wine, he opened a bed-and-breakfast in France, where he lives today.
