I was lucky enough (old enough) to see the original ELO back in 1975 at Birmingham Odeon. Speed forward 47 years to Sutton Coldfield Town Hall and I could have sworn I was watching the original ELO.
The show flawlessly recreates the fantastic music of ELO in a spectacular show with superb lighting and effects brought together to create an atmosphere that transports you back to heady days of the 70’s and 80’s
The show has an array of talented musicians on guitars, violin, cello and of course drums and keyboards taking us on a journey through ELO’s terrific musical catalogue playing their much loved songs and hits.
It didn’t take long for the audience to be up on their feet singing and dancing along to the wonderful sound.
Would I recommended you see them? 100% I would encourage any music lover out there get your tickets and get transported back to a magical music
