George Hutton (musician)
George credits a lot of his success to his good friend Cahir O'Connor, whom he endearingly refers to as 'the big man.' O'Connor actually taught Hutton how to sing. Hutton speaking in 2015 outside the infamous Park bar said " Cahir was such an inspiration to me growing up. I idolised him. He taught me everything I know. All I ever wanted was to sing like him and play football to the same standard as him. I was even caught wearing some of his clothes in uni just to smell like him. Though I'm a little embarrassed about that last part, but I swear it helped me pick up more girls."
