The George Harrison Project
Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay
Saturday 17 August 2024, 7:30pm
Here comes the perfect tribute to a Beatles legend. A musical icon who was part of arguably the biggest band of all time will be honoured and remembered with a special show taking place at the Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay on Saturday 17 August at 7.30pm.
The George Harrison Project, the UK’s leading live music tribute to George Harrison, celebrates his best-loved hits from The Beatles, his solo career, and The Traveling Wilburys.
Alongside John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Harrison helped The Beatles become the best-selling music act of all time with 600 million units shifted worldwide. After the Liverpudlian four-piece called time on Beatlemania, the songwriter formed The Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup featuring Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty.
Harrison, who died in 2001, also enjoyed a successful solo career, releasing 12 studio albums, including Living In The Material World, Cloud Nine, Brainwashed and the classic triple album All Things Must Pass.
During the show, some of his most best-known tracks will be performed, including All Things Must Pass, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes The Sun, Cheer Down, Handle With Care, Taxman, My Sweet Lord, Got My Mind Set On You, and many more!
In 2022 the owner of Harrison’s childhood home in Liverpool invited The George Harrison Project to visit the house and record some acoustic songs there.
