The spine-tinglingly authentic and theatrical 'tour de force' played recently to massive acclaim with fans rushing the stage and Silvio & the band protected by security men (see film page) There was barely a bum on the seat by the end of the performance with an excited crowd dancing in the aisles and screaming for more, More, MORE!

Karma Culture
"It brought a tear to my eye" says Mikey Craig, Culture Club founder member & bassist (who kindly offered his services on the first 'Cirque De Silvio' performance in June last year);
"For a split second, it took me right back to our prime at Madison Square Garden in the 80's! Silvio is an incredible entertainer who grew up idolising George and some of our fans adore him already!"
This brand new spectacular Review is produced by Phil Pickett, Culture Club's keyboard MD in the 80's and co-writer of the band's biggest hit, "Karma Chameleon"

Michael Metcalf, GMTV and 80's series producer of "The Tube" was also at the gig;
"Cirque de Silvio is a very glamorous show - a proper Big night out! Silvio is a young artist with great energy and style"

Simon Cowell said of Silvio "You'll never make it this business, far too 'out there' for my taste!" (Sorry Simon - even you don't always get it right!)

Dee Dee Wilde (of 'Top Of The Pops'legendary Pans People now a Party organiser) said of Culture Dub after a recent corporate event;
"Thank you for the best, best party we've ever had. It's better than the real thing and way beyond 'Tribute' - It's "Cirque de Silvio!"

Thus the name was born!

Silvio:"Music seems to be very serious these days and frankly, a little dull. It must have been fabulous to be around in the 80's. I'm really envious. But it's 2008 now and am convinced there are millions of people out there who just want to be themselves again, let their hair down, get dressed up in outrageous outfits and PARTY!"
Culture Dub 'Cirque De Silvio' have arrived on Planet Earth and are here to fulfill that prophecy!
