Expect to hear nostalgic classics such as Call Me Irresponsible, That Way You Look
Tonight and Mack The Knife mixed with contemporary hits like Lost, Home, Everything and Fever to name a few and all delivered in the unique style of the worlds leading king of swing Michael Buble.

The show could not have arrived in Lisburn at a better with Michael Bubles latest single and album taking the charts by storm along with recent appearances on The Paul O Grady Show and The X Factor.

The Michael Buble tribute show is less of a tribute and more a re-enactment and direct replication of the man himself.

Hailed a very close sound alike is not enough when it comes to a Michael Buble tribute show.

What makes Michael so popular is his constant touring and massive stage charisma and presence and interaction with his audience. This made James Huish as the easy choice to pull this outstanding show off.

Not only does James sound like Michael Buble but also he has a great stage presence and charisma equal to none.

Although James has been singing since he was a child the transition from Musicals to Pop to Swing has been an interesting one.

James is originally from Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire, where at the age of 15 realised his passion for singing, and started a Crowded House Tribute Band with some local young musicians. As Neil Finn is his idol (along with Frank Sinatra of course!) his dream was to play onstage with him. He fulfilled this dream in 2001 in the Adelphi Theatre, Sheffield.

James taught children in Performing Arts for a number of years for a leading National children's theatre school in the UK. As a vocal/songwriter coach and performance studies coach, James taught and conducted workshops in The Castle Theatre, Northants. He set developed and set up th "Broadway School of Performing Arts" for children in the UK which continues to grow year on year.

James is a musical Theatre veteran having performed in Musicals such as West Side Story, Grease and in Chamber Concerts of Miss Saigon and Les Miserables in London's West End. This was the turning point in James career where he realised he had to sing! Soon after, when at a friend's wedding one evening James was asked to get up and sing 'Mack the Knife'. The guests loved it and persuaded him to sing a few more Swing numbers. He went home that night hooked on Swing and Jazz, the rest as they say is history.

This is a show not to missed with Irelands undoubted King of Swing James Huish and his Fabulous 8 piece Bigband.
