A BAND with style and a sense of humour is strumming to the county town.
The Unravelling Wilburys, a tribute to supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, will roll up at the Corn Exchange, Dorchester, on Saturday November 11.
Just when they were about to make it to the big time, this band of good ol’ boys from Nashville, Tennessee had a whole bunch of songs (allegedly) stolen by Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne (ELO), George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, under the late 80s ‘supergroup’ pseudonym The Traveling Wilburys.
Things were so bad after that, the real Wilbury brothers (Walter, Sticky Willy, Thumper, Javelin and Blind Melon) resorted to dressing up as The Beatles, and spent over 20 years touring as “Sgt Pepper’s Only Dart Board Band”. Can you believe that? Enjoy all the songs including Handle With Care, The End Of The Line, The Devil’s Been Busy, Not Alone Anymore, Tweeter and The Monkey Man and solo choice cuts Pretty Woman, You’ve Got It, Mr Blue Sky, Telephone Line, Mr Tambourine Man, Running Down A Dream, I Won’t Back Down, What Is Life, Here Comes The Sun, Runaway and more.
n The Unravelling Wilburys, Dorchester Corn Exchange, Saturday November 11, 8pm. Doors open at 7.15pm. Tickets cost £12 in advance and can be bought from the TIC at Dorchester and online at ticketsource.co.uk/wilburys
