Formed in 1970 in Birmingham UK, the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) is a band that fuses pop music with classical overtones. Jeff Lynne, its creator and continuing driving force added violins, cellos, string basses, horns and woodwind to the standard rock line-up to ‘pick up where the Beatles left off…’ In the 13 years following their arrival on the music scene, they sold over 50 millions records worldwide, accumulated 27 Top 40 songs in the UK singles chart, and 15 in the US charts. In the summer of 2016, they played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, and in December, it was announced they had been elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2017. Jeff Lynne continues to front ELO (Jeff Lynne’s ELO).
Richard Balcombe and Graham Bickley have now produced a concert celebrating the unique aura of ELO, expanding the classic sound with a treatment that utilises a full symphony orchestra and band, with 6 singers to replicate the glorious wall of vocal sound. The concert celebrates ELO’s catalogue of classic chart hits – not re-imagined, but like you’ve never heard them before!
In association with GRB Concerts.
Conductor: Richard Balcombe.
Setlist includes
Roll Over Beethoven
Xanadu
Telephone Line
Sweet Talkin’ Woman
Diary Of Horace Wimp
Living Thing
Rockaria
Shine A Little Love
Mr Blue Sky
