FORMER members of 70s supergroup ELO - The Electric Light Orchestra - are bringing their string-soaked rock to the Doncaster Dome on October 3.
All six former Electric light Orchestra Part II members are once again re-united for an encore tour of the UK.
Since 1973, Kelly Groucutt on bass and vocals and "The Blue Violin" of Mik Kaminski along with symphonic arranger and orchestral keyboard player Louis Clark in 1974 (he's also the originator of "Hooked On Classics") were legendary past members of the mega hit making Electric Light Orchestra. Keyboard player and vocalist Eric Troyer in 1991, guitarist and vocalist Phil Bates in 1994 and Gordon "super drummer" Townsend in 1999, joined Kelly, Mik and Lou for a second incarnation called Electric Light Orchestra Part II. The six artists have performed to sell-out audiences from New York's Carnegie Hall to London's Royal Albert Hall and from Sydney to Siberia.
They play favorites including "Evil Woman", "Turn to Stone", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Do Ya" and the rock anthem "Don't Bring Me Down".
Doors open 7pm, Tickets: £27.50 from the Dome box office on 01302 370777.
