I have had the privilege to work with the Australian U2 show three times now as a stage and entertainment manager. Their reproduction of U2 is second to none and there has not been one audience that has not got right into the show. Their professionalism and easy going nature makes them a true pleasure to work with. This is simply reinforced by the following experience: After playing a two hour full production show to a 2000 strong racing crowd, one lucky punter offered them some extra pocket money to play in his backyard to all his friends and neighbours that night. The band arranged a sound system and played another two hours under a pergola to about fifty very impressed punters. They impressed me too.

I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with Gary, Luke, Rob and Jeff again and in particular to see Luke’s forward pike from the standing position off the stage steps. Degree of difficulty 9.5 and nearly pulled it off had it not been for a poorly placed floor tom.

I would recommend the Australian U2 to anyone planning an event. They are great both on and off the stage!

Kind regards,

On Saturday, September 20th, 2008, STAR FITNESS celebrated its first year in the fitness industry.  We decided to do something a little different and booked The Australian U2 Show.  Unsure of what we were about to see, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of professionalism and authenticity of the band.

Gary Morris did an unbelievable job as "BONO" and matched the famous frontman not only in appearance, but vocal and stage presence also.  He was able to relay the passion and energy of U2 to the crowd and had everyone singing along to every song.  He was able to create a fun and exciting atmosphere and encouraged crowd interaction with his intense showmanship.

The band was also great.  All the songs were played with amazing accuracy with the projection screen adding a stadium like feel to the performance.

Everyone had a fantastic night and left wanting more.  I would highly recommend The Australian U2 Show for any future function.

Sincerely,

Michael Makris

U2 Australia Chat Room U23D Review 10.4.08

Hi All,

What a fantastic night!!  We thought it would be memorable enough to go the midnight premiere, but the pre-show performance by The Australian U2 Show made it absolutely unforgettable!  We were among the 100 or so people in the foyer at 9:00 and the atmosphere was pretty electric.  The foyer was decorated for the premiere with large U23D posters that groups of people used as back drops for their souvenir photographs.  A very lucky person who went to the test screening of U23D at Imax on Monday (!!) told me that the experience was like a trip in a time machine.  Bringing back so many fond memories of the Vertigo tour.   For me, the trip in the time machine started with Arcade Fire's 'Wake Up' immediately before The Australian U2 Show.  Their performance close to the bottom of the escalators was fantastic and quite a lot of new arrivals over the evening appeared to be really impressed.  We watched them as they joined the growing crowd, many of them pulling out their cameras to record the performance.  I think there must be several boot leg recordings out there, and hundreds of fantastic photos!!  During the second set Gary playfully disappeared up the escalator - I am pretty sure Bono himself could not have done better!!  The Australian U2 Show played right up to about 5 minutes before the movie started, and I think they were the best support act U2 has had for a while!   Thanks a lot Gary, Jeff, Luke and Robb!!

Kind Regards,

Robert and Barbara

-the bloke was a dead ringer for Bono, he could sing too. Fifteen years on (1992) The Australian U2 Show is still going strong and in the cadre of Bono impersonators, Gary is regarded as one of the best.

Gary's drink of choice throughout the day is Jameson Irish Whiskey. He demands a round immediately, but Fevela is all out! Desperate to keep their celebrity guest happy (thinking he was Bono!), they dispatch a waiter for a fresh case.
