Event information
Phil Bates will be playing some original material taken from his critically acclaimed solo albums, including some blues and a smattering of Beatles songs . But of course this show would not be complete without lots of those fabulous Jeff Lynne songs that made ELO one of the biggest and most successful bands in the world.
Phil Bates is best known for being the frontman and guitarist for ELO Part II (Electric Light Orchestra Part II) from 1993-1999 and its successor, The Orchestra, playing ELO's classic hits worldwide. However, his connections with ELO go further back as part of support acts Quill and Trickster.
He continues to perform solo shows and tribute acts, focusing on ELO, Beatles, blues, and rock classic.
