Janette Mason presents Wall To Wall George Michael

 Featuring Brendan Reilly and special guest Ade Omotayo.

With a career spanning four decades, records sales of 120 million worldwide George Michael is considered one of the greatest artists of the MTV generation.

Artist In residence, Janette Mason is bringing her unique reworking of George Michael's music back to the Exchange for a fourth year running.

She will be joined by the incredibly talented vocalist Brendan Reilly (Basement Jaxx, Shania Twain) and Ade Omotayo, who famously lent his talents to Gorillaz and Amy Winehouse, plus an amazing band of some of the UK's finest session musicians.

"The flame-haired Janette Mason, musical director, took ownership of the set. In addition to being a rousing keyboardist, Mason boasts formidable skill as a composer, producer, and arranger– toying with the arrangements and sometimes entirely reinventing them. She has the uncanny knack of undoing a song by its seams and reconceptualising it with brazen originality.

A remarkable front man, a remarkable band.

In 2025 Andy Fairweather Low's The Invisible Bluesman album entered the Official UK Jazz and Blues Albums charts at Number 1. The band also opened Eric Clapton's 2024 and UK/European dates of his 2025 tours.

Andy Fairweather Low came to prominence as the lead singer in Amen Corner. The 60s saw them clock up hit after pop hit. Songs such as 'Bend Me Shape Me', 'Hello Suzy', '(If Paradise is) Half As Nice' are internationally remembered to this day. But if you were paying close attention, you might have picked up a clue in their first single the magnificent 'Gin House' as to Andy's future musical collaborations.
