Electric Live Afterglow for ELO Classics

Hello ... Hello ... my old friends ... It's great to see you once again! It has always been my great personal pleasure to support and highlight local musicians, especially those who operate in the ELOBF musical universe. Bernie Toner and Dave Bates were two quarters [or one half] of the Electric Live Orchestra [E Live O] who regularly featured on ELOBF until they sadly pulled the plug on their West Midlands based ELO tribute band back in 2011.

The good news is that the duo have continued to work together and their mutual love of all things ELO has led them to record two impressive covers of the ELO classic ballads "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" and "Strange Magic". You can hear both tracks here thus:



ELO Beatles Forever [ELOBF] will hopefully be touching base with Bernie and Dave again to find out what they have been up to since and what's next for them here in Yours Truly 2014. In the meantime, here's my 2011 interview with the Electric Live Orchestra for you to peruse thus:
