SOMETHING About George – The George Harrison Story is a musical biopic tribute about the so-called “quiet” Beatle is back following it’s hugely successful 2023 tour which celebrated what would have been George’s 80th birthday.
Starring West End actor and musician Daniel Taylor, Something About George – The George Harrison Story tells the truly remarkable tale of one of music’s most understated icons.
The unmissable production – which pays tribute to the man dubbed the “quiet Beatle” – won plaudits from audience and critics alike when it officially closed Liverpool Theatre Festival in September 2021 with its one-hour version of the show.
Featuring a five-piece band performing beautiful songs such as My Sweet Lord, Something, Got My Mind Set On You and Handle With Care, the show includes incredible solo material and music from rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest supergroup, The Travelling Wilburys, which was made up of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. And any show celebrating one of the Fab Four just has to include a few classics from The Beatles.
Daniel is an award-winning actor, producer and director. He trained at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London. He has also produced, directed and performed as Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (both for the Epstein Theatre, Liverpool).
He has previously played John Lennon in the award-winning Lennon Through A Glass Onion, Sammy in Blood Brothers and appeared at the very first Liverpool Theatre Festival in his show The Very Best Of Tommy Cooper.
Taylor said: “After all his achievements, George is still one of the most underrated songwriters that has ever lived, and this is a perfect chance to celebrate and shine a spotlight on his musical genius.”
Co-producer Gary Edward Jones said: “It’s now 20 years since George Harrison passed away – but his remarkable story and timeless music lives on.
“We feel privileged to be able to highlight the legacy he left behind. We’re excited to share this journey with audiences on this inaugural UK tour and are sure they will leave the show knowing more about George and his incredible life.”
Something About George - The George Harrison Story is at the New Brighton Floral Pavilion on Saturday, February 3 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets from floralpavilion.com
