If you love good music, then this is the show for you as Barry Steele presents his all-live spectacular multimedia tribute to The Big O. Featuring classic Orbison hits from the 60s right through to the late 80s when Roy joined a band of men, who called themselves The Traveling Wilburys.
Using original film footage from the era, and backed by his fabulous 5-piece band, Barry Steele will bring the life and character of Roy Orbison back to the centre stage where it truly belongs, as he puts the rock back into The Big O with his trademark dark-rimmed glasses, soaring vocals and Orbison style.
Add to the mix the sounds of The Shadow, Ray Charles and our special star guest tributes to Johnny Cash, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis; you have yourself a spectacular fusion of good old rock 'n' roll and contemporary musical genius all on one stage.
Book yourself a ticket to ride this incredible musical journey: it’s not The Big O, but you simply won’t believe it!
‘True identikit brilliance’
