THIS year marks Roy Orbison's 80th birthday and to commemorate this year a special production is arriving at The Wyvern Theatre in Swindon on Thursday, February 4 .

Barry Steele and friends will offer a musical and semi-autobiographical celebration of The Big O’s musical legacy, in The Roy Orbison Story. This is a specially revamped musical journey in time, from the early years right through to the late 80’s and also includes a special tribute to the time Roy spent with The Traveling Wilburys and Bono.

Add to the mix friends, celebrating and performing the music of the stars who toured and performed with Roy, and this should be a fusion of 60’s classics and contemporary musical genius all on one stage.

  • Barry Steele and friends The Roy Orbison Story - 80th Birthday Special is at The Wyvern Theatre in Swindon on Thursday, February 4. Call the box office on 01793 524481 for tickets.
