Back in Melbourne, she created a venue, "Music on Q", for local original artists. She recorded an album, Circle Dance, with Hopkins and Pertout, which was released in 1996 as a limited edition CD. Whilst raising three daughters she continued to teach at various schools and colleges throughout Melbourne and also ran a private practice.

A later line-up of WJAZ was George, Dyer and Pertout, with Craig Newman and Colin Hopkins.

1979

Linda George had already provided backing vocals on releases by her contemporaries, including Brian Cadd, Madder Lake, Daryl Braithwaite, Normie Rowe, Jo Jo Zep, John Farnham, Kerrie Biddell, and many others. Throughout this time George worked with various ensembles. From early 1979 to 1981 she worked with the Paul McKay Sound.

During 1979, George performed backing vocals on Mike Brady's album Invisible Man. Brady had just had a No. 1 hit with "Up There Cazaly" and set up his own label, Full Moon Records. George signed to his label and returned to the studio with new material. Her first single in four years was a duet with Melbourne singer Paul McKay, "Love Is Enough", released in April 1980, which reached No. 23 locally. Her next single was the up-tempo, "Telephone Lines", in 1981, but it was not a chart success. While resuming her session work, George also spent much of the 1980s singing with her own ensemble, the Linda George Band. The line-up often included David Allardice on piano, which was an early alliance revisited. Later in 1982, she joined with Jeremy Alsop, David Jones and Mark Chew in the band Voice, and worked locally. During that time she represented Australia at the Yamaha music festival in Tokyo.

They won the Victorian state final of the 1970 Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds ahead of Zoot, though they finished behind The Flying Circus, Zoot and Autumn at the national finals in August. George left Nova Express later that year for a solo career, including performing with The Marlboro Big Band, The Barry Veith Big Band, Opus Big Band, and Brian May and the ABC Show Band on a tour of Vietnam, which included Derek Capewell on bass, Garry Hyde on drums and Melbourne musical stalwarts.
