Have you seen the current 'The Orchestra' in concert yet?
They really do put on a great, great night.
4 times this month we have seen them.
Utterly awesome, albeit without the main man, Jeff Lynne.
He's busy in Beverley Hills, alas.

Didn't care for them much after Roy left.
'Rockaria' was OK, though, and I have it on vinyl. smile

I've got just about everything done, from ELO, ELO PT 2, The Orchestra, The Move, The Travelling Wilburys. Love it all.
The three original ELO members in The Orchestra were next to us at a Shepherds Bush eatery last week. It was nice to chat to them.
See T.O. if you can, they have a talented line-up now.

He is living in North Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California.
He produces for Tom Petty and does some other musical work for various people.

The Orchestra line up is Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminsky, Louis Clark, (3 originals), plus Phil Bates and Eric Troyer from ELO Part 2 and drummer Townsend, an American, like Eric is.

Brilliant band, lots of nostalgia mixed with the talents of Phil and Eric.

It goes to 11 for me!
