‘Pure Bassey’ is a unique production, performed by Miss Julia Martin, paying tribute to the biggest diva of them all … ‘Dame Shirley Bassey’. This singing legend needs no introduction, her unwavering global appeal spans more than five decades. In this show Julia captures the instantly recognisable voice of Dame Shirley Bassey and combines it with a passionate delivery of every lyric. The Entertainment Agents Association in 2018 & 2019 have voted Miss Julia Martin, the UK’s No1 Shirley Bassey tribute, an accolade that has been mirrored by both the BBC and Sky Television.
The show has been described by audiences as totally authentic in every way, and not only captures Shirley’s incredible stage presence, power ballads, and magnetism, but also delivers a spectacular evening of entertainment, that no true Bassey fan will want to miss. Julia’s dedication and attention to detail is what makes her shows so special and her amazing ability to mimic both the voice and movements would leave you thinking that you had seen the original artiste. Julia is also the only Shirley Bassey tribute artist in the world to own and use within her show a collection of stunning original Shirley Bassey gowns. This was brought about by the successful purchase of these incredible and totally authentic show gowns from Christies of London. Each of these unique gowns has its own profiled history and between them they span over 50 years of Shirley’s success.
With more than 20 years in the business and over 3,400 tribute performances to her name, Miss Julia Martin is acknowledged to be one of the most versatile and sought after Shirley Bassey tribute artistes in the world.
