TOP tribute show The Unravelling Wilburys are returning to The Assembly Hall, Melksham on Friday 11th November.
The Unravelling Wilburys are made up of Sticky Willy, Walter, Thumper, Blind Melon and Honky Tonk Wilbury, the ‘real’ Wilbury brothers, who allegedly grew up in an Appalachian shack and first presented their songs in Nashville back in 1987.
Their great combination of brilliant musicianship and tongue in cheek humour has had rave reviews throughout the UK. The band will be playing the songs of the 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, along with some choice numbers from its five iconic members; Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne.
Wilbury songs such as ‘End of the Line’, ‘Handle with Care’, ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’, and ‘Tweeter and The Monkey Man’ form the basis of the set, which also features additional choice cuts including ‘Pretty Woman’ (Orbison), ‘Mr Blue Sky’ (Lynne), ‘American Girl (Petty), ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ (Harrison), and ‘A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall’ (Dylan).
“The whole package is presented with the band’s inimitable style and humour and is a show not to be missed!” say the organisers. “This is a fabulous night out for lovers of great music.”
Tickets are available on-line at: www.melkshamassembly.co.uk and from the Box Office on 709887.
