Had he lived, Roy Orbison would turned 75 on April 23. To celebrate his musical impact, a special tribute show will take place on his birthday at The Castle, 452 Finchley Road, London NW11, in the UK.
The show stars Dave Collison as the Big O, plus special guests The Trembling Wilburys featuring Glen Knowler as George Harrison, along with guitarist Dzal Martin, drummer Dave Stark and others. The Trembling Wilburys' show features music by the Wilburys and other songs associated with the various members. (You can see a video promo of the Trembling Wilburys at left.)
The setlist will include all the Orbison and Wilburys classics, such as "Oh, Pretty Woman," "Only The Lonely," "Dream Baby," "In Dreams," "Crying," "You Got It," "Handle With Care," "End Of The Line" and "You're Not Alone Any More.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost £5, which also includes a free raffle ticket for prizes provided by Roy Orbison Productions, headed by Roy's widow Barbara who is giving the event her official support and blessing.
