Description

Now so popular that they were even a question on TV show “The Chase”, the boys spend their time travelling all over the UK, getting rave reviews and packing out theatres along the way in towns whose names they’ve never heard of and can’t pronounce.

The show features the best of the Wilbury albums (‘Handle With Care’; ‘The End of The Line’; ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’; ‘Tweeter and The Monkeyman’) alongside back-catalogue numbers such as ‘Refugee’ (Tom Petty); ‘While my Guitar Gently Weeps’ (George Harrison); ‘Like a Rollin Stone’ (Bob Dylan); ‘Only the Lonely’ (Roy Orbison) and ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ (Jeff Lynne). The act also contains the kind of comedy only a band spending far too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up.

Runtime approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes including interval.

Tickets will be on sale at Penrith TIC - 01768 867466.
