» Profile

‘Dame Shirley Bassey’ - A unique production 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 four decades and as many generations.

In this show Julia captures the instantly recognisable voice of Dame Shirley and combines it with a passionate delivery of every lyric. The BBC in a recent interview with Julia cited her has the UK’s No 1 Bassey tribute!

Julia matches Shirley’s magnetism, stage presence and extravagance of gowns every step of the way and she is the only Shirley Bassey tribute artiste in the world to own not one - but seven original Bassey gowns. This was brought about by the successful purchase of these incredible and totally authentic gowns from Christies of London. Each unique gown has its own profiled history and between them they span over 50 years of Shirley’s success. The gowns alone would make this a show worth seeing, but add to this Julia’s stunning portrayal of Dame Shirley and you have a show in a million!

Julia Martin is one of the most versatile and sought after Shirley Bassey tribute artiste in Europe. Her position in the tribute market is unrivalled, she has worked around the world, appeared on television, sang to over 12,000 people in a single open-air concert, played at theatres and conference centres and been booked to entertain on cruise ships, at leading hotels, corporate events and golf clubs. Julia’s record speaks for itself with over 200 shows a year she is consistently re-booked and receives tremendous reviews wherever she appears.

Regardless of where she is performing Julia offers… sex appeal, audience participation, stunning costume changes, vocal impressions that are spot on and a portrayal of the original artiste that is second to none.

Julia’s dedication and attention to detail for the artiste she portrays is what makes her show 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’s shows have been running to great acclaim for over 8 years and can be booked as individual 60, 90 or 120 minute shows. This superb tribute show is provided on playback with full PA, lights and a dedicated sound engineer.

Miss Julia Martin is a unique tribute artiste with the amazing ability to be able to perform more than one tribute show. She is recognised around the world, presenting tributes to Celine Dion, Madonna, Dame Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner, Anastacia and a stunning theatre style multi-tribute show Lady Legends. All of these incredible shows have been running for over 8 years and are constantly in demand from venues both in the UK and overseas.

Unique to Julia is the combination of artistes that can be performed in any one show. You have the traditional solo shows which include all the above, alternatively you have the option of booking a double or multiple tribute night, where any of these artistes can be combined to provide a fantastic mixed night of tribute entertainment. The transformation between artistes is so complete that on a multiple tribute night people in the audience cannot believe the same person has performed all the tributes.

Julia is often booked to provide a full evening of entertainment, thus reducing the costly exercise of paying for more than one tribute artiste. On multiple tribute nights she can provide up to 3 hours of incredible entertainment often using a compère to keep the flow of the show during character and costume changes. This type of show was used to great effect recently during a series of 6 prestigious Award ceremonies for a leading blue chip company. These events took place throughout the UK with Julia’s brief to provide non-stop tribute entertainment from 9pm until midnight.
