ELO Experience lights up the APEX

Who could have known that you could have so much fun on a Monday night in Bury St Edmunds.

The APEX rocked last night to the iconic sounds of the Electric Light Orchestra brought to Bury St Edmunds by the excellent ELO Experience tribute band

Voted the official UK No 1 Tribute show back in 2018 The ELO Experience is led by the brilliant Jeff Lynne sound-alike Andy Louis (wig-alike as well) with fabulous support from the superb musicians in the band made up of:  Steve Hemsley– Keyboards, Special Effects Vocals, Pete Smith – Bass Guitar, Vocals, Jan Christiansen – Lead Guitar, Vocals. Tony Lawson – Drums and Percussion, Liza Stacey – Violin with Francesca McDonald and Rachel Hoffman – Cello

What a sound, with all the classic tracks from 1972 through to 1986. As a great fan of ELO growing up through that era I have to admit that I knew every track and so did my wife.  This was the third time that we have seen this group interspersed with one visit to the NEC to see the real thing. This band is good, really good, great musicians who in my opinion just get better every time.

The Apex is a superb venue and the event was a sell-out with a great band and fantastic tunes it really is a great place to go on a quiet Monday.  The show finished with a bopping load of fans dancing in the aisles uplifted even higher in the finale with the magnificent and optimistic Mr Blue Sky

No Politics, No Brexit just a whole lot of fun what a great way to start the week!

This is just a selection of the playlist that I can remember, I was too busy waving my Glow stick, singing and clapping in tune to remember all of the tracks.
