SUMMARY:SENSATIONAL SHOW CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF BILLY JOEL ANNOUNCES 2025 TOUR
DESCRIPTION:SENSATIONAL SHOW CELEBRATING THE MUSIC OF BILLY JOEL ANNOUNCES 2025 TOUR \nCARDIFF\, NEW THEATRE – THURS SEPT 4th \nFollowing sold out tours across the UK and Europe\, celebrated singer-songwriter and pianist Elio Pace and his incredible band are heading to Cardiff with the sensational award-winning show The Billy Joel Songbook in 2025. \nThe exciting live show will hit the road throughout September and October visiting 19 theatres across England\, Scotland and Wales and includes a date at the New Theatre on Thursday September 4. \nTickets go on sale at 10am Wednesday December 4 from www.eliopace.com/tours \nPaying homage to one of the most iconic musicians\, singer-songwriters and composers of the 20th century\, The Billy Joel Songbook is billed as the greatest love letter ever to the genius that is Billy Joel. \n  \nTransporting the audience through five decades of hits\, Elio and his band will perform more than 30 songs from Joel’s vast catalogue of 82 singles including The Longest Time\, She’s Always A Woman\, An Innocent Man\, Uptown Girl\, Tell Her About It\, The River of Dreams\, We Didn’t Start The Fire and Piano Man. \n  \n“I’d love for us to play every single but with so many songs in this great man’s back catalogue we’d need a four-hour show\,” says Elio. “It’s so exciting to be returning with The Billy Joel Songbook though and I promise we’ll get as many as everyone’s favourite songs on the setlist as possible.” \n  \nOver the last three years\, The Billy Joel Songbook has played more than 50 sold-out venues in the UK and Ireland alone\, and earlier this year\, a special recording of the full show at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre on Billy Joel’s 75th birthday\, was broadcast via BBC Radio Wales and BBC Sounds. \nElio added: “We all feel privileged every time we walk on a stage to perform the music of Billy Joel. His music is timeless\, he is a genius composer and\, in my opinion\, the greatest singer/songwriter of all-time. The fact that so many people want to see us perform this is incredibly humbling. \n  \n“We are all delighted we get to take this show on the road yet again revisiting venues we have previously sold out and also travelling to some new towns and cities where we look forward to seeing faces old and new. \n  \n“Wales is a particular favourite for us which is why we have decided to bring shows to Cardiff\, Swansea and Llandudno on this tour.” \n  \nThe late broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan was a huge fan describing Elio as “Only sensational\,” and in 2010 he was the musical director for BBC Radio 2’s Weekend Wogan performing as the featured artist on all 35 shows broadcast that year. \nSinger/songwriter\, piano-player\, producer and arranger\, Elio has performed with a wonderful array of stars including Brian May\, Huey Lewis\, Glen Campbell\, Gilbert O’Sullivan\, Lulu\, Mike Rutherford\, Don McLean\, Tom Chaplin\, Debbie Reynolds and Martha Reeves to name but a few. \nIn 2013 and 2014 he was invited to ‘fill Billy Joel’s shoes’\, starring in five very special reunion concerts in the USA with Joel’s original 1971-72 touring band. Following on from the huge success of these American shows\, Elio embarked upon the debut tour of The Billy Joel Songbook and has continued to sell out theatres ever since. \nFor more information about The Billy Joel Songbook and to secure your tickets go to  https://www.eliopace.com/tours \n  \nThe Billy Joel Songbook 2025 \n\n\n\n02-Sep\nTorquay\, Princess Theatre\n01-Oct\nGlasgow\, Royal Concert Hall\n\n\n04-Sep\nCardiff\, New Theatre\n03-Oct\nPerth\, Concert Hall\n\n\n11-Sep\nCambridge\, Corn Exchange\n05-Oct\nNewcastle\, O2 City Hall\n\n\n14-Sep\nNorthampton\, Royal & Derngate Theatre\n11-Oct\nStoke\, Victoria Hall\n\n\n18-Sep\nBournemouth\, Pavilion\n12-Oct\nWarwick\, Butterworth Hall\n\n\n20-Sep\nAylesbury\, Waterside Theatre\n14-Oct\nLeicester\, De Montfort Hall\n\n\n21-Sep\nSouthend\, Cliffs Pavilion\n15-Oct\nYork\, Barbican Centre\n\n\n23-Sep\nSwansea\, Grand Theatre\n19-Oct\nBasingstoke\, The Anvil\n\n\n28-Sep\nBirmingham\, Symphony Hall\n22-Oct\nBradford\, St George’s Hall\n\n\n\n24-Oct      Llandudno\, Venue Cymru \n  \nElio Pace continues to thrill audiences around the world with his soulful voice and amazing piano playing. \nHis critically acclaimed\, self-penned debut album\, ‘A Seat At My Table’\, captured the attention and hearts of music lovers everywhere and his Christmas single\, ‘What A Day’\, labelled a modern classic by celebrated broadcasters and commentators\, features on worldwide radio playlists every December.
