Born blind to working class parents in London, George Shearing began learning to play the piano at the age of three. He was forced to turn down several scholarship opportunities in order to earn a living performing in local pubs. Shearing began to make a name for himself with an all-blind band with which he made his first appearance on BBC radio.
