Traveling Wilburys tribute plays Eastbourne date

Roy Orbison And The Traveling Wilburys Experience is at the Congress Theatre on Thursday, March 2 at 7.30pm.

A spokesman said: “35 years ago, five titans of the music industry came together to create something truly unique. To celebrate this anniversary there’s a chance to experience the sound of the Traveling Wilburys live once again as the show, Roy Orbison and the Traveling Wilburys Experience comes to Eastbourne.

“The Traveling Wilburys were an English-American super-group featuring Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. The band formed in 1988 thanks to a happy accident. George Harrison needed a B-side to This is Love. George and co-writer Jeff Lynne of ELO had been hanging out in Bob Dylan’s studio with Tom Petty and Roy Orbison so George took the initiative and a legend began! Come and enjoy a fantastic evening of entertainment jam-packed with non-stop hits, big screen action and lots of fun. Audiences will be taken on a journey through several decades of pop celebrating the music of Jeff Lynne's ELO, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers and The Beatles' George Harrison. And, of course, the collective genius that was The Traveling Wilburys.
