Three weeks in Rajastan softened by a dozen plus cricket TV channels, early 70's Peel and Freakzone programmes from Mixcloud and Iain Anderson on Radio Scotland.

The other band we recently saw…I have decided to confess…was The ELO Experience!

The front man, Brian Cummings, was totally hilarious…in fact, his first joke was a bit ‘near the mark’ for me and I wondered if it was going to be like that throughout, but actually he was very funny. However, throughout they showed massive respect to the music and to the work of Jeff Lynne. The lead violinist was especially impressive, taking the solos in Living Thing and singing the operatic parts in Rockaria.

The theatre of around 1500 was sold out with mainly more mature folks, all of whom ended upsinging along and some of whom were dancing in the aisles.

So all in all, and entertaining evening, giving due respect to the originals, whom they clearly held in high esteem.

Simon Kirke is saying on FB that Tetsu Yamauchi has died.


Just saw that .

I remember the Kossoff Kirke Tetsu Rabbit album,  way back.

Red and Gold. Picked up an original copy in Out of Time Records today still with the lyric sheet and everything, which was nice.


Quite jolly - some sounds are of its time, but a splendid Nicol production job nonetheless. London River is probably the red-headed stepchild of the bunch, but you can hear Maart really starting to impose himself on matters.


I think your point about Maart is spot on. I like the tune of The Noise Club, the drama of The Battle, and the arrangement of Open The Door Richard but the techy bits are of their time. Still one of my favorites tbh. Nice to have the contrast of the live versions of Set Me Up, Summer, Beggars, and yes even London River on the It All Comes ‘Round Again box

Set Me Up, the instrumentals (especially The Rose Hip, which gets played every so often by today's twin fiddle lineup), the title track, Dark Eyed Molly, Summer Before The War and Open The Door Richard all good. The Beggar's Song and London River are embarrassments.
