Southern England’s Premiere George Formby Tribute Act
Matthew Quilliam plays the hits of Britian’s favourite ukulele player. Blending an authentic look and wit with his own trademark style, you can be sure that everything will ‘turn out nice again!’
Armed with a deep knowledge of the Formby story and over 10 years’ worth of playing experience, Matthew pays a fitting tribute to the music and skits of the highest-earning star of WWII. Expect to hear When I’m Cleaning Windows, Leaning on a Lamppost, Mr Wu, Auntie Maggie’s Remedy and up to 2 hours’ more faovurite songs and skits. Music from other artists of the same era is also on Matthew’s set list for added variety.
As George Formby, Matthew has performed at many vintage railways and events, such as Didcot Railway Centre, West Somerset Railway, Mizens Railway, On-Parade Re-enactment Society, and a handful of stage productions including for Odiham Drama Society, Windlesham Players, and ‘Victory’, a play by Stephen Hall.
As well as his Formby impression, he works as a full time performer across the UK at weddings, concerts, cabaret spots, on cruise ships and festival and theatre stages.
Matthew surprises at a wedding, entertaining the guests with a set of Formby music.
Matthew provides a full PA sound system, offering great value with every booking.
Why not upgrade to a full band? Matthew can provide the musicians, or sheet music for a house band to perform with.
