Paula. Some people can't help picking up accents while some never lose them.
I moved south from the midlands and was accused of coming from 'oop north' - wherever that is - when I went back home on visits I was told I had a London accent.
Now I'm back on home turf I'm told I don't have an accent :-S
No effort on my part to adopt another accent.

I never thought Jeff Lynne had a particularly strong brummie accent.

Guess what....we have ELO on again.....waiting for this round to finish so l can record it from the beginning:)

Island. Jeff Lynne still has a very strong Brummie accent unlike many who now live in USA who have developed a phoney American accent.

Poooo...its finished now :-( :-( :-( :-(

jude :-P :-P :-P :-P

It can be recorded by pressing the record (red) (not the red button thats with the green,blue and yellow buttons) button on your Humax control...we are waiting for it to start again ;-)

Telephone Line is on now...Vic is watching this rather than Pointless, now that is something ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Ohhh Island presumably they were all born in Birmingham:))))

So chuffed to see a few of you enjoyed them. They are still on the Red Button via Humax...and we have it on now:)....still bloody brilliant ;-) <3

I love them too.....a fantastic group and I have several CDs. 'Telephone Line' was another favourite for me. :-)

What's a proper Birmingham boy? Jeff Lynne has lived in Beverley Hills for nearly twenty years and before that Meriden for some time.

Great band though, also Idle Race and Travelling Wilburys.

ELO possibly the best group that ever existed next to the Beatles.....

Wondering why Jeff Lynne has never been Knighted for his service to the music
industry, if Macartney James Gallway and Geldoff can get them why not Jeff Lynne ?

THINK THAT WAS WHEN WE WENT,BEFORE THE DAY WE HAD A LETTER SAYING WE HAD OBSTRUCTIVE VIEW BUT STILL WENT,,WE HAD THE BEST SEATS EVER EXCEPT FOR HEIGHT
TOP ROW AND LOOKED STRAIGHT DOWN THE SIDE OF STAGE
SAW ALL THE PREPARATION AND THE BOYS COMING OUT ON STAGE GETTING IN THE SPACESHIP,I EVEN STOOD UP DANCING EVEN THOU TOP ROW AND STILETTOS BUT CLIMBING UP LIKE CLIMBING EVEREST

I saw them at Wembely Arena in 1978 ....we did'nt have great seats but the light show was good ...oh and so was the singing

Yes I have a turntable. Bought a Rega at some expense last year. Makes the old records, still in good condition sound, bl***ly fantastic.

Have quite a lot of stuff not available on CD.

Watched part of it. Must dig those old vinyls out and wind the turntable up.

Andy

Loving it! Still proper Birmingham boys <3 <3

I first remember them when I was working before I had my kids - and my eldest is 42 next week!! Where have all those years gone?

I'm off now to make a coffee before watching "The Village".

Enjoy the rest of the concert.
