The Arts Centre in Devizes Road is to host The George Harrison Project on Thursday 9 October from 7.30pm.

The show honours the performer and songwriter who died in 2001.

A spokesperson said: "The George Harrison Project, the ultimate live music tribute to George Harrison, celebrates his best-loved hits from The Beatles, his solo career, and The Traveling Wilburys.

"Alongside John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Harrison helped The Beatles become the best-selling music act of all time with 600 million units shifted worldwide. 

"After the Liverpudlian four-piece called time on Beatlemania, the songwriter formed The Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup featuring Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty."

The George Harrison Project's show includes what are billed as authentic recreations of tracks including All Things Must Pass, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes The Sun, I Me Mine, Handle With Care, Taxman, My Sweet Lord, Got My Mind Set On You, Blow Away and many more.
