Do ya do ya want my love?

About Me

I came up in Birmingham. There wasn't much going on there outside of the pub and the factory so we listened to the Beatles and started a band. One day that band grew up and became the Electric Light Orchestra. We wrote some nice tunes, got to put some fiddles on top, and had a great run in America. When that ran out of steam I started producing records and got to work with all of my childhood heroes; The Beatles, Roy Orbison, Del Shannon, Duane Eddy, and the Everly Brothers among others. I made new friends like Tom Petty and even started a little side group called the Traveling Wilburys. I can't tour anymore in America because the tickets don't sell but I love you all and hope to see you again soon.
