Jeff Lynne has spent the last three decades on studio work as a renowned and in demand producer.

Plans for an ELO concert in 2001 had to be nixed because of low ticket sales. ELO were deemed to be unfashionable and uncool.

In 2014, 28 years after their last live stage appearance Jeff Lynne's ELO played in front of a crowd of 50,000 people in Hyde Park for BBC Radio 2's Live at Hyde Park music festival. The tickets sold out in no time. ELO are back in fashion, the songs irritatingly catchy and timeless.

Lynne admitted to being nervous returning to the concert stage, with his long standing keyboardist Richard Tandy he delivered crowd pleasing hits such as Livin' Thing, Strange Magic, Sweet Talking' Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Rock n Roll is King, Roll Over Beethoven and Mr Blue Sky. For a special treat, Lynne sings The Travelling Wilbury's Handle with Care.

You simply cannot beat a bit of ELO. The audience loved it.
