George Cameron (c. 1768 – 20 June 1823) was an English hairdresser and songwriter from Tyneside.
Very little is known of Cameron's life, except that at some stage he worked as a hairdresser, with a business in the Cloth Market, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Around this time period, Napoleon had gathered his armies and was threatening Britain and all over the country volunteer regiments (a sort of Home Guard) were being recruited.
Cameron served as a sergeant in one such regiment formed to defend Newcastle upon Tyne.
Cameron wrote his first (and what appears to be his only) song "The Pitman's Revenge (against Bonaparte)" during this period, c. 1804.
