electric light orchestra

After a return performance to the stage last night, Jeff Lynne said that there may be more performances from Electric Light Orchestra in the future.

Jeff Lynne will bring back ELO for a high-profile concert at Hyde Park this summer.

Every Saturday night Dick Bartley hosts Rock And Rolls Greatest Hits. There is a different feature every week. And this week it is The Electric Light Orchestra. Listen for it Sat. night at seven on Oldiez 96.1 WODZ.

Jeff Lynne and ELO are beginning 2013 in the same way they ended 2012, with three new CDs. On April 23, Frontiers Records will release a live album from Electric Light Orchestra, a reissue of one of the band's more recent albums and a reissue of Lynne's debut solo album.

Jeff Lynne seems to be in a reflective mood lately -- the two albums he released in 2012, 'Long Wave' and 'Mr. Blue Sky - The Very Best Of Electric Light Orchestra,' found him recording classic pop standards and revisiting hits from the ELO catalog -- and he continued his focus on the past in a recent Clash interview that looked back on the earliest years of his career.

Court proceedings have concluded surrounding the exceedingly bizarre death of former Electric Light Orchestra cellist Mike Edwards, with a pair of English farmers cleared of negligence in the events leading up to the tragedy.

Just because the artists we cover on Oldiez 96 have been around for decades doesn't mean they're down and out and many are still putting out new music or compilations. Each Tuesday we're going to highlight the new efforts of these music veterans and here's a snapshot of what's going on in the classic genre for the week:

Electric Light Orchestra singer Jeff Lynne has been busy over the past year, re-recording past favorites for the 'Mr. Blue Sky' album as well as taking on a number of older standards for the companion disc, 'Long Wave.' Despite the wealth of new music, it's likely that Lynne will not be touring.

October will be an exciting month for fans of Electric Light Orchestra. Co-founder Jeff Lynne will be releasing a solo album, and ‘Mr. Blue Sky — the Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra’ on Oct. 9. The reissue of the most well-known hits from the British band allows Lynne to reassess old material.
