FORMER ELO 2 STAR PHIL BATES VILLAGE VOICE SOLO ACOUSTIC UK TOUR MARCH 2027
Sat 20th March, 7pm to 10pm
Back by popular demand, we are delighted to welcome back former ELO 2 star Phil Bates!
The show will see Phil play a mixture of material songs from his own repertoire, having released four critically acclaimed albums and one live album.
Phil’s connection with the music of ELO goes back over 30 years when, in 1993, he joined Bev Bevan, Kelly Groucutt, Mik Kaminski, Lou Clark - all ELO members - and Eric Troyer, in ELO Part2. After he left ELO 2, Phil toured with the highly regarded Eleanor Rigby Experience; so expect some fabulous reworkings of his favourite Beatles Songs and of course the show wouldn’t be complete without him performing some of those ELO timeless classic hits which made them one of the biggest bands in the world.
ELO Part2 have toured the world, doing concerts in USA, Canada, SouthAmerica, Central America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, Russia, Eastern Europe, Europe, Scandinavia, and the UK, many times with full orchestras, so we are delighted to welcome him to Purley on Thames.
