George McArdle is an Australian bass guitarist. He came from a violent, abusive background and was drawn to alcohol, fighting, theft and rock music. [1]
McArdle joined the pop-rock group Little River Band in August 1976, replacing Roger McLachlan. [2] McArdle played on their studio albums Diamantina Cocktail and Sleeper Catcher. In January 1979, McArdle left the band to further his Christian studies at a bible college. [1] He is considered a member of the "classic lineup" of Little River Band. This lineup ( Graeham Goble, Beeb Birtles, Derek Pellicci, Glenn Shorrock, David Briggs and McArdle) was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in October 2004. [3]
In 2008, McArdle's biography The Man from Little River was written by Denise A. Austin ( ISBN 9781921589034). [1]
