HALFWAY to Paradise, The Billy Fury Story, is a unique and spirited salute to the much-loved singer.
In a full-on musical showcase, over two hours the sound of Fury’s Tornados packs in live all 29 of Billy’s records, including Colette, I Will, Jealousy, In Thoughts of You, Halfway to Paradise, Wondrous Place, Gonna Type a Letter to You, It’s Only Make Believe, In Summer, Do You Really Love Me Too?
All delivered with fond and expert flair by the guys who actually knew and latterly played with him. In addition, there’s an evocative audio-visual segment chronicling Billy’s modest upbringing to meteoric rise to fame.
The band toured extensively with Billy throughout the 70s, until his untimely death in 1983 and Colin Gold’s portrayal of Billy brings his music to life once more.
It takes place at the Grand Opera House in York on September 25. Tickets are £13 from the box office on 0844 871 3024 or online at www.atgtickets.com/york
