Original London Production DVD Hello You!NEWS FLASH!
(A HUGE thank you to Dawn Holiday. Nigel, and Mike from Aces Wild for the information and graphics shown below! New UK release date for Taboo DVD will be November 17th, it has been pushed back two weeks.)
Taboo – the musical written by Boy George that took the London stage by storm is due for release in DVD format on November 17th - the DVD will feature in addition to a full performance of the London show snippets of backstage gossip and a performance of George himself at Nag Nag Nag
For anyone who saw the London production, this will be a great memory stirrer and reminder of a fantastic show. The original London performance previewed on Monday 14th January 2001, opening later that month to great applause. The show went on to run for 16 months and received 4 Olivier award nominations (collecting 1 – Paul Baker for his portrayal of Phillip Sallon which won him best supporting actor in a musical role) and several What’s on stage award nominations before closing prior to transfer to Broadway where it is due to open next month.
The show attracted a loyal following and there are no doubt fans across the globe that did not get a chance to view this in person. So the DVD was conceived in association with More Protein.
Mike Nichols and Nigel Askew spent several months following George’s every move to create this great DVD brought to you now by Aces Wild.

Welcome to my new site, I hope you enjoy reading and listening to information about Boy George and Culture club. I have pictures to look at and midi files to listen to. I hope you enjoy.
I will start with the biography of Culture Club. The band formed in the early eighties and comprised of Boy George(born George Alan O'Dowd on June 14, 1961 in Elthem, Kent, England and does the vocals), Roy Hay(born August 12 1961 in Southend-on-Sea. Essex, England
and plays guitar and keyboards), Mikey Craig(born February 15 1960, Hammersmith, London, England, plays bass) and Jon Moss (born September 11 1957 in Wandsworth London, England and he plays the drums) Zee Asher(born April 1 in Hammersmith,London, sings. The band formed in 1981 after George was djing at a night club. Before Culture Club, George was with Bow Wow Wow for a very short period and he was called Lieutenant Lush and he also played alongside Craig in the Sex Gang Children. The older drummer Jon Moss was the most experienced as he already appeared with London, the Damned and Adam Ant. After failing an audition with EMI Records, Culture Club had signed on to Virgin Records in the spring of 1982, and released a couple of songs like White Boy and I'm Afraid Of Me. As of Autumn of that year, the band was was the most popular new act of the country. Do You Really Want To Hurt me became number one in the UK. Time(Clock of the heart) became a chart-topper. Kissing To Be Clever climbed into the US charts as one of the top 20.
Suddenley Culture Club became one of the most popular bands in the world. Church of the Poison Mind with Helen Terry on counter vocals with George brought them to another number 2 hit. The band reached their peak later in the year with the release of the magical "Karma Chameleon" song which had topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic ocean sold a million copies. The second album that came out was Colour by Numbers was another UK number one hit and was kept off the top of USA charts because of Michael Jackson's Thriller.
The hype was maintained between 1983-1984 with singles such as victims, and It's a Miricle. The war song hit number 2 but was criticized for it's simplistic politicizing. the media-conscious singer had signed a Faustian pac with Fleet Street, that led to his downfall in 1986. He confessed that he was a heroin addict, he was persecuted by the press and was then arrested for possession of cannabis. In 1987 he apppeared on a chat show called Wagon and declaired he was cured. News said that Culture Club no longer existed. Later he became a Leading DJ and solo singer, later Culture Club reformed in 1998, with the reggae ballad "I Just Want To Be Loved" debuting at number 4 in the UK singles chart that October.
