Mark Shelley is simply brilliant in his characterisation of Roy. He not only has the vocal range & tone to honour his songs, he also has the sensitivity & artistic ability to ‘be’ Roy.

From his initial success in the 1960s to the resurgence of his career in the 80s, Roy Orbison’s voice remained remarkable, communicating an emotional intensity not experienced in popular music before or since. His songs conveyed vulnerability, love, loss & fun. His performance was unique, simple & powerful.
Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy & career highs & lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80s through his legendary Black & White Night Concert, his solo album Mystery Girl & the formation of the supergroup The Travelling Wilburys was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
