An absolutely fantastic evening at Tala amphitheatre, Paphos last night. The atmosphere was amazing, as was the set list and level of musicianship. Sang and danced my sandals off!

WOW WOW WOW! What a fantastic show you gave us last night at The Amphitheatre in Tala! What a setting with Paphos town twinkling below and you shining in front of us! We were all transported back to our youth in the 70’s. Your music is amazing and your chat between songs made us think you that you are a really nice group of friends as well as band members. Long may you carry on transporting us Golden Oldies back in time....thank you all so very very much. Please come back to Cyprus again soon....Anne, Tom and Gill xxx

Brilliant show at epic last night, seen you a few times including Sudbury just recently, and looking forward to diss corn hall later in the year. The stage and set up was good which made for a perfect gig, and of course I like shouting ' go Henry ' just before he sings rock aria !! Pity we couldn't meet you after the show last night as usual. Keep up the good work.
Admin Reply by: eloencounter
Thanks very much Stephen, great to hear you enjoyed the evening. We all heard to 'go Henry', brought a big smile to our faces πŸ™‚ Epic is a great venue, we always look forward to playing there. See you at Diss (another fantastic venue), and we will definitely say hello after the show there.

Hi all, brilliant show tonight at Queens theatre Hornchurch. I love Jeff Lynne and ELO, such a huge fan. You have all done him, and the rest of ELO proud. Your music and production is spot on. I was so happy seeing the audience giving you's so much appreciation, especially at the end...standing up (me included) giving you all a deserved ovation. I will not hesitate seeing you all again when you all are here or near playing. I think you are the next best thing to ELO...good luck. What a brilliant tribute act you all are, wow!!!

Thanks very much indeed Peter, really appreciate it and delighted you enjoyed the show. It’s a great theatre and what could be better than playing the fantastic tunes of Jeff Lynne and ELO. We enjoyed every minute and thanks again for coming along πŸ™‚

Thank you for a great night here in Frinton last night at McGrigor Hall, what a fab band you are.

Once again, thank you, feel lucky to have discovered brilliant local talent.

We saw you on Friday night at the Eastbourne bandstand and thought you were fantastic. You battled the chilly wind in the open air admirably and this didn't spoil the sound at all. It was great to see Xandadu sung by your 'Olivia' and a great rendition of Twilight, one of my all time favourites amongst all the other tracks. Hoping to make it back to see you again upon your return in August!

Saw ELOE in Stowmarket on Sunday 13th May. They are very good and played some of the less well known tracks of ELO. Great musicianship from all, especially keyboards and strings! Highlight of the evening for me was the Prologue together with Twilight, never heard played by anyone other than the original ELO before! Great night out and superb value for money. Will definitely see them again!

Dave lewis Dave lewis from Bedford wrote on February 24, 2018 at 12:21 pm
To the Corn Exchange Bedford last night for the ELO Encounter tribute band. Jeff Lynne and co’s often complex arrangements are not the most simple to replicate but this excellent tribute band had it well nailed. Lead singer and keyboard player Jack Rownes confidently took on the Lynne vocal part – while Jasmine Ali and Ezme on violin and cello added to the authenticity of the ELO sound. Early highlights included Evil Woman, Showdown, Ma Ma Belle ( Martin Donald on guitar firing out the Stones like riffs) Strange Magic and Don’t Bring Me Down - the latter featuring the strident drumming of Dacre Peck. It was also good to hear some lesser high profile ELO compositions such as 10538 Overture and Night Rider. In the second half, bassist Simon Rownes provided the soprano vocal to Rockaria - this was during a sequence of up-tempo crowd pleasing numbers that included Hold on Tight, Rock’ n’ Roll Is King and Roll Over Beethoven. On the home straight the big hitters Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin’ Woman, The Diary Of Horace Wimp and Wild West Hero hit the mark. Violinist Jasmine also took on the Olivia Newton John vocal for an infectious delivery of Xanadu. A rousing finale of Last Train To London, All Over The World and Shine a Little Love had the crowd up and dancing - and an encore of Mr Blue Sky sent us all out into the cold night air with a warm glow. All in all this was a hugely enjoyable encounter with some of the finest pop music of a golden era. A highly recommended ELO experience –catch them when you can…

Went down to watch this ELO tribute band on Saturday evening 10th February 2018 - the group was really good - all very good musicians in their own right & sounded just like the real ELO - the venue was full & sold out so a packed house enjoyed a really good show - good value too at only Β£10 a ticket.
