I think the title of this post says it all. It’s just over four years since I last saw George Michael live in Belfast. Great night on what was then the last night of the 25 Live Tour. More dates were later added to the tour.
Tuesday was my seventh time to see George, I’ll write my review about that later. Today, I had the privilege of sitting down and chatting with George’s backing singers, Lucy Jules and Shirley Lewis. There’s something lovely about the pair of them, smiling and buzzing, their personalities are contagious. They also signed my Symphonica programme for me, which I shall treasure for always. (Edit: I havent listened to the audio yet but some of it should be on Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM soon)
Really enjoyed chatting with my guests this week and loved finding out about Anthony Haughey’s work: Here’s what happened:
Most of Thursday’s show included chats about what to actually call the show, little did I know there was a show on DCUfm called Set to Shuffle so calling another show The Shuffle was a tad too much for me. So deliberations took place with the news team and anyone else that came into the studio as to what I actually should name it. The two options were ‘Backstage’ or ‘The Nessy Monster’, it seemed to be pretty much 50/50 what to call it, the blokes in the room favouring Backstage but the ladies preferring ‘The Nessy Monster’. I think I’m going to go with Backstage…
