HOLD on Tight – the ELO Again band are in town!

The early 1970s will always be remembered as the age of glam rock and British rock group Electric Light Orchestra epitomised this time in music history with their unique symphonic rock style and unforgettable classics.

Who could forget those monster hits like Mr Blue Sky, Living’ Thing, Turn to Stone, Sweet Talking Woman, Shine a Little Love, Hold on Tight, Evil Woman, Telephone Line and Don’t Bring me Down?

But did you know that Jeff Lynne wrote and arranged every one of the group’s original compositions and produced all their albums too?

Unbelievably the band accumulated over 39 Top 20 hits, selling over 50-million records worldwide and collecting a host of music awards along the way.

Now all these hits will be painstakingly reproduced tomorrow night (Friday) when the superb tribute ELO Again take to the stage at The Wharf.
