Geronimo is a massive song, not just for the band.

It charted around the world, particularly in Europe.

The band came together as a duo – George with sister Amy, who features in a future episode.

They were joined by another sibling Emma and other friends to become Sheppard.

It was at the end of an Australian east coast tour playing back to back concerts at schools that the gem for Geronimo was captured on an iphone, minutes before going on stage in Melbourne.
