For the first time in over 22 years Lefty and Nelson Wilbury of the Traveling Wilburys have performed together. On the 6th of February, Glen Knowler and myself performed as George Harrison and Roy Orbison at the Castle, Finchley Road.

And the great news is, we’re doing it all over again! On the 6th of March we’ll be right back there giving you Orbison, Harrison, Wilburys and maybe even a bit of Beatles. Want to see what it’s like? Have a look…

Well, today’s the day. I’m going to be doing my second official Roy Orbison tribute once again at the Castle, Finchley Road. I’m very excited and I’m hoping there will be many Big O fans there.

If you want details, click on the link below which will take you to the website with all the info. If you are a musician too, bring your instrument and sit in on the jam session between sets.

I’m going to be singing Oh, Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, In Dreams and You Got It with the possible addition of Crying. Dave Stark’s band, the Dave Stark Five, were excellent last time around and will be just as superb this time.

Thanks for your support up to this point and I hope to see you at the Castle, today, from 5 til 10 for some great entertainment.

The Big O at the Castle with the Dave Stark Five

Dave as Roy Orbison

Dave Collison as Roy Orbison

Last Sunday, the 7th of November, I joined the Dave Stark Five on stage at the Castle, Finchley Road, to do a small Roy Orbison tribute. I sung Oh, Pretty Woman, Only The Lonely, In Dreams and You Got It to a very warm and appreciative audience. There were some other great acts there that night including Mark Windows doing a great Mick Jagger and T-Rex act.

I shall hopefully be joining them again on the 5th of December to do some more Big O songs. It’s a wonderful night, a great venue, great band and lovely atmosphere. And, quite amazingly, it’s free and kids are welcome too!

Here’s some videos of my performance for you to have a look at.

If you’d like to become a fan of my Roy Orbison tribute act, head over to Reverb Nation and join up!
