A film which follows the journey of George Shuttleworth, played by George Formby, will have a special screening at the Manx Museum.
Released in 1935, ‘No Limit’ is a beloved musical comedy set against the thrilling backdrop of the Isle of Man TT races.
To celebrate 90 years since the filming of ‘No Limit’ members of the George Formby Society members are travelling to the Isle of Man for a week of celebrations at the end of the month.
90th Anniversary
The 90th anniversary weekend has been planned by Nick Saunders and Andrew Poppleton, President of the George Formby Society and offers a unique opportunity for society members to immerse themselves in George Formby’s legacy, visit filming locations and exploring the Isle of Man’s rich heritage.
Members will visit the ‘No Limit’ exhibition at the Manx Museum where an exhibition dedicated to the film is currently on display in the Cabinet of Curiosity.
Andrew Poppleton said: “No Limit is one of George Formby’s greatest films and the one that put him on the road to stardom!
“The Society is very much looking forward to visiting the Isle of Man to mark the 90th anniversary, where we invite you to join us to mark this special occasion”.
Special Screening
To coincide with the visit, Manx National Heritage will be offering the opportunity to relive the magic of ‘No Limit’ at a special screening at the Manx Museum in Douglas on Sunday, July 27.
Following the screening members of the George Formby Society will play some of George’s most famous hits as well as a free introductory workshop on how to play like Formby.
