The Quiet Beatle will be commemorated in a special Stockport Concert this summer. 

On 8 June 2024, 'George! The Concert' will take to the stage at Stockport's Garrick Theatre, celebrating the work of George Harrison. 

It will feature music from across George's career - Beatles songs, solo work, and Travelling Wilburys tunes - played by international artist Nick Bold and his top band. 

In the words of one critic: "I met George Harrison, and Nick is as close to perfection as you can get!"

As Nick himself said in The Spokesman: "I've always felt an affinity with George. He was the first person I looked to when I took up the guitar. 

"My older sister was a huge Beatles fan so we had all the albums, so I just learned all his parts early on. […] He was my first guitar hero."

The show features a quite remarkable setlist - While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Here Comes the Sun, My Sweet Lord, and many more. 

A description for this event promises "an authentic, heartfelt and astonishing experience not to be missed [...] it's a show that all fans of The Beatles will love".

The concert starts at 8pm on Saturday 8 June at Stockport Garrick Theatre.
