Roy Orbison show comes to Laycock

His songs conveyed vulnerability, love, loss and fun and his performances were unique and powerful.

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy and career highs & lows.

His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80s through his Black and White Night concert, his solo album Mystery Girl and the formation of the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys was a fitting final chapter for a creative genius.

Mark Shelley is brilliant in this theatrical portrayal of the man, his music, his voice and his life.

Shelley has the vocal range and tone to honour the songs, but also the sensitivity and artistic ability to become Roy Orbison.

Songs will include Only the Lonely, Running Scared, Anything You Want, Candyman, Blue, Bayou, Crying, Working for the Man and Pretty Woman.

You will find yourself, believing you are in Orbison’s presence, transported back in time and reliving the emotion of every song.

The show will be performed at 2pm on August 27.
