About this concert
A sophisticated masterclass in melody, honouring Burt Bacharach, writer of over 60 USA top 40 hits for Dionne Warwick, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, Gene Pitney, The Carpenters and so many more. You may have forgotten how many songs you hear every day were written by Burt Bacharach. Join us for a night to remember!
Atlantic recording artist John Reilly fronts this concert with his spiritual and soulful vocals, backed by Britain’s finest session musicians who have played with Paul Carrack, Take That, The Spice Girls and Lighthouse Family. Female vocals are elegantly performed by Rachel Raynor and the Musical Director overseeing this dazzling non-stop parade of classic songs is Canadian pianist and composer Lewis Nitikman.
“A must see for all music lovers.” Billy Hui, BBC Radio Merseyside
“A wonderful collection of songs just as they were meant to be heard.” - Eliot Kennedy

John Reilly Biography
John Reilly is a Liverpool born singer, songwriter, lyricist and writer, now based in Sheffield, England. John has three older sisters and grew up in a house filled with an eclectic mix of music from Sinatra and Nat King Cole, Dylan and Joni Mitchell, to Motown and 70’s glam and he was particularly influenced by the lyrics of Bernie Taupin. His first band at sixteen while still at school was ‘Force’ who played at the legendary ‘Eric’s’ in Liverpool, playing mainly Roxy and Bowie covers.
Two years later John moved to Sheffield and together with Bass player Andy Needham he hand-picked musicians to form BOY ON A DOLPHIN. Pete Hiley on lead guitar, Tom Bryson on drums. After a year, Darren Ford became drummer. Reilly, Needham, Hiley, Ford are still the core of Dolphin today.
2007 John flies to Toronto to write with Canadian pianist/writer Lewis Nitikman. An incredible flurry of creativity ensues and Lewis flies to the UK to continue. John tests out the new songs in shows with him on guitar, percussion and vocal and Lewis on piano. People return again and again and begin to sing songs that they have only heard live.
In 2016, John appeared on BBC1 ‘The Nation Remembers’ show, performing his song ‘Women of Steel’, live from the Imperial War Museum in London.
A John Reilly concert is almost a spiritual event. An evening where every emotion is touched and unleashed in a uniquely intimate atmosphere created by his intensely profound lyrics and stunning vocals.
