FOLLOWING his West End Debut at The Adelphi Theatre, Barry Steele is set to put the rock back into ‘The Big O’ as he takes to the stage to commemorate this legend in ‘The Roy Orbison Story’.

There will be solid gold hits and contemporary genius as Barry Steele and a fabulous cast of musicians and singers, celebrate and commemorate the musical legacy of Roy Orbison and many of his friends from the late 60s to the late 80s.

Barry is joined on stage a five-piece band and sensational guest pianist Boogie Williams.

This top-class production also features chart busting hits originally performed by Jerry Lee Lewis, Procol Harum, Del Shannon, ELO, Tom Petty, Chris Isaak, The Spencer Davis Group and culminates in a stunningly brilliant accolade as the whole cast comes together to pay homage to the original super group ‘The Traveling Wilburys.’

Barry said: “I am backed in this all live multi-media show, with not only a fabulous band and musicians, but a big screen featuring both live streaming, and images from the life and times of Roy Orbison, interspersed with factoids and information about the life and times of what is considered to be one of the best singers the world has ever known.”

Barry Steele has been stunning audiences with his uncanny ability to recreate the vocal talents of the legendary Roy Orbison, winning rave reviews across the globe.

He added: “The set list has evolved over the years, and with the back catalogue Roy Orbison has it was difficult to choose the songs, however we used feedback from the audience and of course we sing the best sellers, but there are a few surprises in this year’s show.

"Orbison’s songs not only have wonderful melodies and tunes, the lyrics are some of the most sublime ever written. Not only does the music take you back in time, the songs can make you happy, sad and emotive all at the same time.”

Barry Steele will be at The Octagon Theatre in Yeovil on Friday, January 10. To find out more visit octagon-theatre.co.uk
