An acclaimed new music show highlighting the incredible talent of the late Beatle George Harrison is set to embark on a UK tour following its premiere in Liverpool and a successful run at Edinburgh Fringe.
Something About George – The George Harrison Story, which pays tribute to the man dubbed the “quiet Beatle” will visit twelve UK venues including a very special performance at Liverpool’s Philharmonic Hall on 25thFebruary, which would have been George’s 80th Birthday.
West End performer and musician Daniel Taylor, fresh from his TV appearance in BBC’s Unbreakable, were he made the final with his partner Shirley Ballas (head judge from Strictly Come Dancing), front’s the band of five and tells the fascinating story of George and performs his biggest hits along with a live band, soundscape and visuals.

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 hedonism and song writing to success, Something About Georgecelebrates a life that was anything but quiet.
This remarkable tale comes from the creators of the critically acclaimed production Something About Simon – The Paul Simon Story, which was a smash hit when it was premiered at Liverpool’s Epstein Theatre in 2018. The show went on to triumph at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019, where it was chosen for a residency at the Fringe Encore Series at the SoHo Playhouse in New York City, where it playedsell-out performances.

Daniel said: “I’m really looking forward to taking Something About George back on the road in February and March, performing it again for UK audiences, especially as it coincides with George’s 80th birthday. We had a great reception when we performed the show earlier this year across the UK including a well-received run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, I can guarantee people a fantastic journey through George’s life and amazing music.”
