Something About George – The George Harrison Story, the musical biopic tribute about the so-called “quiet” Beatle is back following a hugely successful 2024 UK and Ireland tour.

“All Things Must Pass”, they say. Well, George Harrison’s name will live on forever. From the creators of Something About Simon – The Paul Simon Story and Something About Lennon – The John Lennon Story, comes a show that answers the question “where does life take you after being in the greatest band in the history of the world?”

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.

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 – not
forgetting more than a few Beatles’ classics along the way. From heartbreak to hedonism and song writing to instant success, Something About George will show you a life that was anything but quiet.

WHAT THE PRESS SAID…

“Something about Georgeis a show that will be around in the years to come.”

Wirral Globe

“All songs were performed superbly pitch perfect, giving a moving and entirely beautiful tribute.”

The Broken Spine

As a recent reviewer remarked, “Not really a tribute, that cheapens what this band does, which is to transport you back to those days. So sensitively and authentically done, at times it felt like it was actually ELO being mirrored up there on the stage”.
That’s what The ELO Encounter tribute show is all about.
