BOY GEORGE IN A SEASON OF NEW CONCERTS AT THE SHAW THEATRE
'SONGS THAT MADE YOU DANCE AND CRY'
'Beyond...the face paint, lies a great British soul voice. Church Of The Poison Mind was delivered at breakneck speed and overflowed with joie de vivre. Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? was the very epitome of dreaminess and the beloved Karma Chameleon gained a new layer of loveliness in a new, stately incarnation' - The Evening Standard.
Some may say that George's life has been a soap opera played out in the tabloids since his meteoric rise to international stardom in 1982. There is however one undeniable truth his incredible and instantly recognisable voice that has sold millions of albums worldwide.
George returns to the live stage in a series of exclusive intimate concerts in a stomping 2hr marathon packed with his best known and widely loved hits from Culture Club, his solo career and new writing. He will be joined on stage by a surprise guest each night to duet on new material or perform new interpretations of songs from his vast catalogue.
George gets personal and talks openly about his years as a pop and fashion icon, his relationships, musical collaborations and the truth behind the tabloid headlines. He is foremost a musician and artist and these series of concerts provide the perfect platform for one of music's most colourful and treasured performers.
'Culture Club is a living soap opera and at times I have to pinch myself because it is beyond madness' - Boy George 1999
