Jeff Lynne's ELO
After a stint with classic Birmingham bands The Idle Race and The Move, Jeff Lynne co-founded The Electric Light Orchestra in 1971, one of the most successful groups of the seventies and eighties. Multiple hit singles and best selling albums followed making Jeff's anthemic ELO songs some of the most loved and recognisable of the last four decades. Jeff went on to a successful solo career and worked with many of his musical heroes including Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Del Shannon and The Everly Brothers. He also found time to co-found the ultimate 'supergroup' in The Traveling Wilburys, who included pals Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison in their ranks. Find out what the driving force and creative mind behind ELO is currently up to via his official web site thus:

Xanadu: The Musical
Xanadu: The Musical will be finally making its theatrical debut here in the UK later this year at Southwark Playhouse in London between Friday 16th October and Saturday 21st November 2015. The Broadway run of "Xanadu" back in 2007 was successful beyond expectation garnering several awards and four [4] Tony nominations. The film - originally released in Summer 1980 - was somewhat overshadowed by the success of the Original Soundtrack album [UK: #JETLX526] where it reached #2 in the Official UK Album Chart with the title track produced ELO's only #1 UK single [in tandem with Olivia Newton-John] and six [6] other UK Top 40 hits including "I'm Alive", "All Over The World" and "Don't Walk Away". This production also includes "Evil Woman" and "Strange Magic" in its suite of Jeff Lynne penned songs. Tickets are already on sale priced nominally at just £22.00 each and these can be purchased via this link thus: southwarkplayhouse.co.uk/the-large/xanadu
