    Is this billed as 'Jeff Lynne's ELO'?

    For years, there was an 'ELO Part II' led by Bev Bevan without Lynne.

    Bit strange to have that Radio 2 concert on the same night as the Invictus Games gig.

    Ah well, they said they would put some highlights on Youtube. Pity it's only on the Red Button tonight.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,722 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Heads up/reminder for tomorrow night (BBC Four at 9pm), a new series called 'Oh You Pretty Things' as part of BBC's 'The Sound Of Style' season.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/sound-of-style

    Looks good

    :)

    A kind soldier of the Internet has posted the full Jeff Lynne/ELO concert from Sunday

    Ahoy Hoy. I heard Johnny Marr being interviewed today, I didn't know he guided Noel Gallagher in his early days. They both wrote classics on the same guitar. If that Guitar could talk it would say "Why did you smash me up, Noel?" Here's the link (only a few minutes long)...

    But getting back to the telly ...


    Friday BBC4
    9pm & 1.40am - Hello Quo
    Documentary examining rock band Status Quo's five-decade history, including interviews with the band, concert footage and rarely seen archive material, as well as a look at the 2012 reunion of the original line-up, performing together for the first time in more than 30 years. With contributions by Paul Weller, Brian May, Noddy Holder, Cliff Richard and Jeff Lynne. Cut-down version of the feature-length documentary

    10.20pm - Big Hits: TOTP 1964 to 1975
    A selection of performances from the first years of Top of the Pops, featuring the Rolling Stones, Peter Sarstedt, Tom Jones, Stevie Wonder, Julie Driscoll, George McCrae, Queen, the Kinks, Procol Harum, Suzi Quatro, the Foundations, Stealers Wheel, the Seekers and Status Quo

    11.50pm & 3am - Roxy Music at Frejus
    The rock group perform in a concert recorded in 1982 at Frejus, France, before an audience of 15,000. Featuring some of their greatest hits, including Dance Away, Avalon, Love is the Drug and Jealous Guy

    12.40am - Oh You Pretty Things
    Tribes: Lauren Laverne narrates this three-part documentary exploring the influence of musicians and designers on the coolest and craziest looks in Britain, and how fans emulated their idols. The first programme focuses on the golden years of the 1960s, when Mod legends the Small Faces became the best dressed band in England and the Beatles and the Rolling Stones embraced psychedelia



    Friday BBC2
    11.35pm - Later With Jools Holland
    New series. The eponymous pianist returns for a new run of eight instalments. With an impressive 44 series already under his belt, the same 'in the round' formula will be reworked for this run as Jools welcomes some of the world's biggest artists, kicking off with alt-J, the indie trio who perform tracks from their pending second album, This Is All Yours. North Carolina's Ryan Adams is no stranger to the series, having appeared on three previous occasions. He will be performing a couple of tracks from his self-titled, self-produced 14th LP. West London Soul act Jungle and singer-songwriter FKA Twigs will also be promoting their respective albums, and American R&B singing group The O'Jays will be joining Jools round the piano. Extended version of the live edition shown on Tuesday


    Saturday BBC2 HD and BBC2 England (but not BBC2 NI or BBC2 Wales)

    12.05am - TOTP2
    Mark Radcliffe continues his roam through the annals of pop glory in the TOTP archive, sharing gems from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Stevie Wonder, Spitting Image, Kylie Minogue, Gary Numan, Squeeze and Tina Turner.


    Saturday BBC4
    The Story of Top Of The Pops 1979
    A look back at a heady year for the chart show, which recorded its highest audience of 19 million viewers, as physical format singles peaked at four times that number. Social problems in Britain during the Winter of Discontent did not stop inventive musicians from making hay as eager fans queued up to embrace their output, and new wave, 2-tone, reggae, rock, folk and electro hits competed for the top slots. Among the featured artists are Gary Numan, Nile Rodgers, Jah Wobble and Woody from Madness


    Saturday RTE1
    11.15pm - The Imelda May Show (repeat of last Sunday's Show)
    The singer-songwriter is joined in the studio by pop-rock band The Script, rock group Aslan, singer Derek Ryan and pop-folk duo Hudson Taylor for chat and live performances


    Sunday RTE1
    9.30pm - The Imelda May Show
    The singer-songwriter is joined in the studio by grammy-award winning artist Sinead O'Connor, musician Hozier, rock-group The Strypes and singer Paul Brady for chat and live performances


    Sunday BBC4
    Quadrophenia - Can You See the Real Me?
    Guitarist Pete Townshend revisits his former haunts in Shepherd's Bush and Battersea, London, to reflect on the Who's sixth studio album Quadrophenia, released in 1973. He recalls how the record was nearly abandoned due to financial problems, a culture of drink and drugs, and a studio that was under construction. Featuring contributions by fellow band member Roger Daltrey, manager Bill Curbishley and record producer Ron Nevison



    That's about it, Hot Fuzz is on ITV on Friday at 11.40pm, which is good fun and made all the better by having this over the End Credits. Adieu.

    Wahey, The Quo are back!

    Now, here's a worrying thing (as I listen to Pat Kenny talking about Alzheimer's disease)...

    I can't remeber if i've seen that Pretty Things documentary before. Surely I have at this stage? Looks interesting. But then, anything that has The Beatles in it's preview looks interesting to me. :-D

    Thanks as usual, Skid.
