With a perfect mix of superb musicianship and comedy, the UNRAVELLING WILBURYS are brothers ‘Sticky’ Willy, Walter, Thumper, Blind Melon and Honky Tonk, who tell their unique story on how they became a tribute band.

Now so popular that they were even a question on TV show “The Chase”, the boys spend their time travelling all over the UK, from the Orkney Islands to the Isle of Wight; from Penzance to Perth; from Southwold to South Wales; getting rave reviews and packing out theatres along the way in towns whose names they’ve never heard of and can’t pronounce.

The show features the best of the Wilbury albums (‘Handle With Care’; ‘The End of The Line’; ‘The Devil’s Been Busy’; ‘Tweeter & The Monkeyman’) alongside back-catalogue numbers such as ‘Refugee’ (Tom Petty); ‘While my Guitar Gently Weeps’ (George Harrison); ‘Like a Rollin Stone’ (Bob Dylan); ‘Only the Lonely’ (Roy Orbison) and ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ (Jeff Lynne). The act also contains the kind of comedy only a band spending far too many nights in Travelodge hotels could dream up.

So- turn off your hearing aid, put your Zimmer frame to one side and prepare for a great night out.

It’s a journey you ain’t gonna forget in a hurry!
