Julia Martin with her undeniable stage presence is acknowledged to be one of the world's most outstanding Dame Shirley Bassey tribute performers, and Julia is the only DSB tribute artist in the world to perform in a stunning collection of original DSB gowns. These gowns were worn by Dame Shirley throughout her glittering career, and include the world-famous Gypsy Gown, created by Douglas Darnell. These gowns create the illusion of Dame Shirley herself being on stage, and they span over 70 years of Dame Shirley’s success.
The concert delivers over 110 minutes of Dame Shirley Bassey’s greatest hits, with back-to-back classics including This Is My Life, Diamonds Are Forever, Big Spender, Goldfinger, Something, As I Love You, Kiss Me, I Who Have Nothing .... and many, many more.
