There is now an official Trembling Wilburys website AND a Trembling Wilburys YouTube channel. Wanna see? Have a look:
Trembling Wilburys YouTube Channel
So, if you want to keep up to date on Trembling Wilburys news, head over to the website. If you want to see the latest vids as they’re posted, subscribe to the YouTube channel!
Starting from the 5th of June I’ll be at the Elephant & Castle, Elgin Avenue, W9 every Sunday from 4pm til 9pm. Plenty of room and 5 hours to get your songs in. So, if it’s close enough for you, get on down, come and say hello and give us a song or two!!
Roy Orbison's 75th Birthday Bash
This is the official UK Roy Orbison 75th Birthday Bash with a full band show featuring Dave Collison as the ‘Big O’, plus the ‘Trembling Wilburys’ with Glen Knowler as George Harrison, who’ll also be doing some solo George & Beatles songs. Plus a short support slot from our country singing pal Will Kevans. Entry only £5.00 (pay on the door), which also includes a free raffle ticket for special Big O goodies PLUS FREE ROY DVDs for everyone, courtesy of Barbara Orbison Productions.
It’s gonna be a great night, so come on down if you’re in London for Easter!!
EDIT: All of the information I have provided in this post regarding the closure of the Castle is wrong. The Castle is still going to be the Castle. It seems it will close for a couple of weeks for refurbishment and when it re-opens, part of it will be a restaurant. Live music is still very much a part of it. Sorry for the misinformation.
It’s very sad news about the Castle, I’m afraid. As of May 2011, the Castle, Finchley Road, will no longer be a live music venue. It’s becoming a fish restaurant. This means that today’s Dave Stark Five and Friends jam session will be the last one. We still have the big one on the 23rd of April to celebrate the Big ‘O’s 75thbirthday (see previous post).
I’d just like to say how proud and privileged I am to have worked at the Castle and to have met Denis Cook. If it weren’t for Denis, I would never have met Dave Stark and his fantastic band of musicians and been able to do my Roy Orbison tribute. And the job he did in turning the Castle around was amazing. It’s a true tragedy to see it changing.
Denis, I wish you all the best. You’re one of the best people I know.
The Trembling Wilburies
Roy Orbison was born on 23rd April 1936 and to celebrate his 75th birthday, we’re having a birthday bash to be remembered. Starring myself as the Roy ‘Lefty’ Orbison, Glen Knowler as George ‘Nelson’ Harrison and the Dave Stark Five bringing back the rest of the Trembling Wilburies. We’ll be featuring all the big hits from the Big O, George Harrison and the Traveling Wilburies. There’s also a raffle with lots of Roy Orbison goodies to be won. All with the full blessing and support of Barbara Orbison and the Orbison estate!
But, before that happens, you can also come and see us play with other artists at the Castle’s Dave Stark Five and Friends jam night on the 3rd of April. I’ll be the along with Glen to do a few numbers. It happens on the first Sunday of every month and is always a great night with fantastic musicians.
So, to summarise:
