A Night of Iconic Harmony at the IXL: Celebrating the Legacy of George Michael

Shirley, Jay and Jo were not simply backing singers; they were an integral part of George Michael’s sound and stage presence. Their harmonies helped define his live performances across decades of global tours, television appearances and intimate showcases. From powerful ballads to uplifting anthems, their voices added depth, soul and authenticity to songs that continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. Their reunion at the IXL offers a rare opportunity to experience those unmistakable harmonies live, performed by the voices that helped shape a generation.

The evening will take guests on a carefully curated musical journey through George Michael’s timeless catalogue, celebrating his artistry, vulnerability and musical genius. Alongside the music, the trio will share reflections and stories from their years performing alongside George, creating an intimate and meaningful tribute to an artist whose impact remains as powerful today as ever.
