Within the past couple of weeks, I happened to see an advert on TV for Jeff Lynne's E.L.O. Over and Out tour. As much as I would love to go, I know the cost of the tickets is likely to be mega-expensive... that's if there are any tickets still available. In addition, travelling to and from the venue would be a nightmare.
Last night I had been looking at the list of upcoming musical events at the town halls in my borough, and just happened to notice that an E.L.O. tribute group will be performing early next year. I had asked my son if it was something he would be interested in. He said he would need to listen to some of E.L.O.'s songs over the weekend, before he could give me a decision. Earlier today, We ended up watching video footage of a previous concert, and at the end of it my son said he had enjoyed it. I was delighted, as I had been determined to try to influence my son into liking E.L.O. before the end of the weekend.
My next task will be to book tickets for the tribute group. Whilst they may not be the real deal, at least they won't look like ants on the stage.
