George Borowski

George Borowski is a British guitarist and singer-songwriter, who has gained an indirect claim to immortality as Guitar George, a guitar player in the Dire Straits hit "Sultans of Swing", who may have been a reference to Borowski.
He was born in 1950, in Wrexham in North Wales to Russian and Polish parents. He is a great-nephew of the Russian composer, Sergei Rachmaninov. His family later moved to the north-west of England, where, as a teenager, he taught himself to play guitar, and played in a number of short-lived bands.
Over the years that followed, Borowski played with several other well-known musicians, including Sad Café, Meat Loaf and Teenage Fanclub. He has toured as a guitar technician and additional musician with bands such as Pixies and Teenage Fanclub.
