    Mr Blue Sky = One of me all time favourite songs.

    Seem to remember a former member of ELO being killed by a haystack rolling into his water delivery van?

    One of the cellists was a South East London boy - from Lee, I think.

    Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw "ELO"

    Another Saga-related anecdote: the first time I saw ELO was at the Fairfield Halls. After the performance they were banned from ever playing there again, which I am sure really hurt their career. The offence was that one of the cello players knocked a chair off the stage. Rock and Roll!!!

    They were the best - so many great songs. My favourite album is Time

    As rock CVs go, his isn't too shoddy. Some useful referees too. And humble with it.
  • EastTerraceEastTerrace
    Yeah, agree, the bit when he was with Paul, George and Ringo and said he could have listened forever while they were reminiscing... you could see how
    much he meant it and he knew how privileged he was at that moment.

    Amazing how much radio play they are getting these days! A band well ahead of their time. I remember the Kenny Everitt radio show, he used to love em!

    Just watched the Jeff Lynne documentary on I-player. What a star. ONLY downside is i have been listening to Del Shannon runaway on Youtube now all morning full blast on the headphones. Just woke up my youngest who had a late night with my awful singing along and the cats have pissed off out, don't blame them really.

    watched it too - had a little chuckle to myself when they were discussing how they got together as The Travelling Willbury's - "shall we ask Bob Dylan.........yeah, why not" ".and what about Roy Orbisson"
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    A good programme, though it did seem to gloss over the ELO years somewhat, to concentrate on his 'second career' as a producer.
