UK TOUR DATES FOR NEW SHOW
WHICH SHINES SPOTLIGHT ON ‘QUIET BEATLE’ GEORGE Daniel Taylor takes acclaimed Something About George – The George Harrison Story on the road ahead of Edinburgh Fringe.
A
new music show highlighting the incredible talent of the late Beatle George Harrison is set to embark on tour dates across the UK after being premiered in Liverpool. Something About George – The George Harrison Story, which pays tribute to the man dubbed the “quiet Beatle”, was met with acclaim by both audiences and critics when it closed the Liverpool Theatre Festival last September. Now West End performer and musician Daniel Taylor is set to 42
take the show on the road on a seven-date tour this summer ahead of a two-week residency at the Edinburgh Fringe. It will be performed as a one-man, one-act festival version for one week at the Assembly Festival Gardens in Coventry, UK City of Culture and then at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it will be at the Assembly Festival for two weeks. And a new full two-hour show, with visuals, soundscape and set design will be performed at the other venues – with Danny Taylor joined by three other top musicians to create a fab four band. The tour opens at The Haymarket Basingstoke on Thursday 9 June before moving on to The Beggar’s Theatre Millom (11 June), St Helens Theatre Royal (16 June), Epstein

Theatre Liverpool (18-19 June), Coventry Assembly Festival Garden (21, 23 and 25 June), The Mill Arts Centre Banbury (30 June) and King’s Hall Ilkley (8 July). It will then perform at the atmospheric The Bijou in Edinburgh from 4-18 August. And the 2022 dates will be followed by an even more extensive tour which is planned for 2023. Featuring beautiful songs like My Sweet Lord, Something, and Handle With Care, Something About George showcases Harrison’s incredible solo material and music from rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest supergroup, The Traveling 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. From heartbreak to www.lancmag.com
