The George Michael 25 Live Experience
If you weren't fortunate enough to see George Michael on his "Brits" nominated European or UK 25 Live show, you may have got to the United States where he put some shows on there. If you did manage to see a show, you'll know what an incredible performer George Michael was, and what a truly astonishing show he could put on. Therefore, embarking on the creation of a tribute to such a great entertainer, is fairly ambitions without the right team. Thankfully, despite the odds, this has been accomplished. So whether you did or didn't catch the original show, you can at least witness something similar again, or get an taste of what you missed out on.
This is the 25 Live Experience, featuring James Bermingham as George Michael. Hailing originally from Dublin, James has performed as George Michael extensively throughout Ireland and also throughout the United Kingdom. James has also been a regular performer in various holiday resorts such as Ibiza, Tenerife, Costa Del Sol, Costa Blanca and Cyprus. He is also in demand on various cruise ships round the world, as well as appearing at numerous corporate events at home and abroad.
This show then, pays homage to the 25 Live shows that inspired it. Not that it's a song for song rendition, - otherwise such Wham! classics as Club Tropicana and Wake Me Up before you Go-Go wouldn't get an airing. Now that simply wouldn't be right, so all the Wham! classics are covered in this show, including Freedom, I'm Your Man, Wham! Rap and Last Christmas - if seasonally appropriate. The programme then ploughs on through the brilliant solo hits like Faith, Outside, Fastlove, Freedom 90 and Amazing, giving a fantastic coverage of arguably some of the best pop songs ever created. The additional female backing singer also enables the great duets of 'Knew You Were Waiting', and 'As' to be performed as highly memorable renditions..The polished band is slick and professional, with attention to detail being absolutely paramount. A full live brass section is also available as an optional extra, if the synchronised digital tape that facilitates them ordinarily, doesn't suit.
This act is truly incredible, a full ninety minute option is available, and with George's tragic passing in 2016, the popularity of this show has inspired many other, much weaker imitations. These guys have been performing as a regular unit, featuring Rob Lamberti, Andrew Browning and Wayne Dilks at different periods, since 1994, so absolutely no 'band wagon jumping' going on here!
Taking bookings again from June 2021.
