What Not To Do When You Discover One Of The World’s Greatest Pop Duos
What would you do if you discovered George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley rehearsing in a village hall before they were famous?
Michael Burdett knows because that’s what happened to him when he was a 19-year-old talent scout.
Michael tried to get the music company he worked for to sign the duo as part of a ska band called The Executive.
And when his bosses told him he was wasting his time, Michael decided he would take The Executive into the studio himself.
If he’d succeeded in getting them a deal, music history might be very different.
Before Fame tells the untold story of the early years before George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley stormed the UK charts as Wham!
The result is a quirky, funny and uplifting solo show that will make you scratch your head at how coincidence shapes destiny
