The songs of George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne are classics and so are the Travelling Wilburys’ hits.
Fast forward to 2018 and the group is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a huge show this Friday, October 26, at Club Sapphire!
Special guest Alice Weibe will open the show, then the Stumblin’ Wilburys will be playing what may be their final show – hence the title “The End of the Line”. There are no plans for future shows, however “we never say never”!
Great songs, a great band and a great opportunity to dance up a storm
Friday October 26 Club Sapphire, doors open at 8pm and a great night of fun lies ahead. Get a table of friends together and we’ll see you there!
