A fan made video tribute to Kelly Groucutt who sadly passed away February 19th 2009. Kelly was bass player with ELO from 1974 until 1983 and was before his deatha member of Orchestra which featured many former members of the Electric Light Orchestra.

Apologies for using any copyrighted material shown here. I only want to make tribute to a very fine fellow.

  • Why was this not in the UK press? I have only just heard about this and I am shocked! I met Kelly after an ELO 2 concert in Dartmouth, and I was shocked to see what lovely man he was, He spent 20 minutes chatting to me and my wife signing photos and letting us take pictures, I am truly gutted at this news.

  • Kelly Groucutt made ELO just as much as Jeff!

  • Holy crap this is awesome.  Obviously influenced by Jeff and his time in ELO but damn - its good!

  • A great tribute to Kelly. He was a major part of ELO.

  • The reason Kelly changed his first name from Michael was because ELO management (among them: Jeff Lynne) wanted him to use a name other than Michael, or Mike (cf. Mike DeAlbuquerque, for whom Kelly replaced on bass; and cellist Mike Edwards), or even Mi(c)k (Mik Kaminski, violin). They already had many present and past members by that name; he adopted Kelly, since it was already his childhood nickname.

  • good artist !

  • @johnny10301968 I'm afraid not!...(as far as i can gather) ... That's a pity :(

  • I had the pleasure of Kelly doing my friends surprise Birthday party and he was awesome !! such a lovely man and a traggic loss to the music world rip my mate

  • E.L.O Part 2 ... former retained the flavor and atmosphere thanks to Kelly ... also .... Only now you can see ... Unless he has done for this group ... He was a great musician ...

    He left ... best memory .... *******

  • Did Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt ever patch up their differences before Kelly passed away?

  • You can watch Kelly and Roy Wood cooking here!

    watch?v=UnwZMwuECz0&feature=re­lated

  • I wonder if Kelly ever approached Jeff about putting his material on an ELO album, almost like George Harrison putting a song or so on a Beatles album... this song is produced to sound like it's from the Out of the Blue/Discovery era, although it was recorded in ELOs Secret Messages era. I can imagine Jeff producing this song sounding more Secret Messagy.
