THE BLOOMSBURY THEATRE :: GREG JOHNSON :: 20/12/06
Greg Johnson’s shows have become legendary in New Zealand for their blend of cabaret styling, catchy pop songs and quirky storytelling. In 2004, he was the first artist to sell-out the New Zealand International Arts Festival in Wellington and continued on with three sold out performances in Auckland. He is over in town from his Los Angeles base to promote the February release in Europe of “Here Comes The Caviar”, which features the NZ hit single, “Save Yourself”.
This will be his only UK show this year, and he has chosen the prestigious and lush Bloomsbury Theatre in the heart of town for it: an all seated affair, it begins with bFM’s Jason Lonsdale warming up from 7.30 before Greg goes on stage at 9pm sharp.
