Former Silencers frontman JJ Gilmour is behind a forthcoming musical to Irish football legend George Best. Dancing Shoes will include tracks such as ‘I Think I’ve Found You a Genius’, a track inspired by a phonecall to Manchester United manager Matt Busby from Belfast scout Bob Bishop. Gilmour has collaborated with Irish playwright Marie Jones as well as former Adventures guitarist Pat McGribben. The show will open in Belfast on July 26th and while the cast hasn’t been finalised, Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti Pellow is believed to being considered. Sinead O’Connor will release the ‘title track’ from the musical as a single prior to the first night.
