Live tribute show to Electric Light Orchestra with soaring strings, vocal harmonies and classic ELO hits.
The ELO Encounter bring their tribute to Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra to the Exeter Corn Exchange on Sunday 15 November, with the show starting at 7.30pm and doors opening at 6.45pm. It's an all-live set built around the strings and vocal harmonies that defined the ELO sound, rather than a backing track, so you'll hear the music played out in full.
The setlist draws on the band's best-known songs, with 'Evil Woman', 'Telephone Line' and 'Don't Bring Me Down' among the titles they'll be working through. The strings are a big part of the arrangement, and the vocal harmonies are worked in alongside them, so the songs keep the sound they had on record. The music is staged with lights and special effects, and the show has picked up five-star reviews from critics who've described it as more than a tribute, calling it authentically done and at times like the real ELO on stage.
