About the event

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of live music as Phil performs songs from his five critically acclaimed solo albums, alongside classic blues favourites, a selection of much-loved Beatles tracks, and—of course—those iconic Jeff Lynne songs that helped make ELO one of the most successful bands in the world.
Renowned for his distinctive vocals, exceptional guitar playing, and seemingly endless repertoire, Phil has enjoyed an extraordinary career. From taking ELO’s music around the world with symphony orchestras, to acclaimed projects such as Beatles Blues and Blue Violin with Mik Kaminski, his performances are always rich, intimate, and full of musical storytelling.
This is a rare chance to see Phil perform up close in an intimate venue. His last appearance here sold out, so early booking is strongly advised.
Join us for a fantastic night of outstanding live music and a great atmosphere.
