Morganisation with Jeff Lynne looking on ... |
#970: Hello ... Hello ... my old friends ... It's great to see you once again! It was an easy decision to make the short train trip to Birmingham's Old Joint Stock Pub & Theatre venue earlier today [Sunday 13th September] to finally get to see Morganisation - the musical quintet headed up by former ELO member Dave Scott-Morgan - perform live. And if this was a toe in the water by the ex-Uglys and Magnum man to see what the reaction to his wonderfully entertaining multi-media show of original songs, ELO covers, Rock 'n' Roll classics, probing questions [from his talented wife Mandy, of course!] and some remarkable storytelling of his journey through 'Brum Beat' to being a part of the Electric Light Orchestra and beyond, it was a superb success.

What a gas! The band really had great times rehearsing this show... a real joy to perform great numbers - and Dave's stuff is up there with the best in my view. Al the pal. [piano]
ReplyDeleteA great show by an "unknown" Brum musician. Even better to hear the stories behind the songs. See the show if it comes near you
