@Sonovox01 I watched these live in 2010 and i will tell you these are no lounge act.

I have watched loads of bands and by far they have more talent between them than most bands in the top 10 now.

That is because Face the Music supports Jeff Lynne and not other former members of ELO, which is a great shame. Jeff's music is work of a genius, but like many brilliant people he seems to lack the emotional literacy needed to support his former colleagues who helped him to gain the success of ELO. Instead he denies them the use of the name while he lets other bands use it with no original link to the group. A sad man indeed!

@janewilkinson .... there's only 1 ELO ..... and that is ..... lynne, groucutt, kaminski, bevan, mcdowell, tandy, and gale ....... in my eyes!

[Sonovox01]

geeze. sounds like a lounge act. Jeff was right to retain the name.

This is a fantastic video - as are the 2 website links listed for the band.

I'm wondering though why there doesn't seem to be any mention of The Orchestra on the 'Face the Music' website - the site that says it is 'the official information service for ELO and related artists.' No mention of the current tour and not even a link to either of these excellent Orchestra-related sites!!
