Comedy tribute show by The Unravelling Wilburys, playing the songs of The Traveling Wilburys and covers by their five icons.
The Unravelling Wilburys play the YMCA Theatre on Thursday 5 November, a tribute to the supergroup The Travelling Wilburys. That original line-up brought together Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, and this show works its way through their songs in that same country-rock style.
It's more than just the Wilburys' material, though. The band also covers songs by the five icons themselves, so you'll hear the Wilburys' tracks alongside the solo work that made them famous. The set list includes 'End Of The Line', 'Handle With Care', 'The Devil's Been Busy', 'Last Night', 'Tweeter And The Monkey Man', 'She's My Baby' and 'Heading For The Light', and then it moves into 'Pretty Woman', 'Mr Blue Sky', 'I Won't Back Down', 'Running Down A Dream', 'Mr Tambourine Man', 'Make You Feel My Love' and 'Here Comes The Sun'.
Fronting the show are brothers 'Sticky' Willy, Walter and Thumper, who lean on a mix of musicianship and comedy. That comedy side is part of the act, so it's not just a straight run of the songs. The whole thing is billed as a comedy tribute band show, and the three of them are the ones leading it.
