THE TREMBLING WILBURYS AT HORSLEY TOWERS, SUNDAY 4th JUNE A REVIEW BY MIKE ALLEN, FLEET STREET JOURNALIST AND CLUB MEMBER THE NIGHT THAT HORSLEY TREMBLED Another triumph for the Horsley Live Music Club, as Horsley Towers shook to the sound of some of rock's greatest music with a memorable performance by the Trembling Wilburys tribute band. A sell out audience in the Great Hall were treated to a set list of nearly 30 songs. All were written or originally performed by members of 1980s Supergroup the Traveling Wilburys - Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Drinks on the terrace in the evening sunshine was the perfect (and peaceful) start for a night of belting tunes played by the Trembling Wilburys, the seven piece band that uses the name originally conceived by Harrison when he was forming the group, before being persuaded to change it. They kicked off with a couple of Traveling Wilburys originals ‘She’s my Baby’ and ‘Dirty World’ before cracking through a series of group and individual hits, such as ‘Here Comes The Sun’, ‘l Won’t Back Down’ and ‘You Got It’. The original supergroup never performed live together, Orbison died shortly before they were due to play on tour. But that didn’t stop an absolutely superb - and chillingly authentic - performance by Dave Collison, who sung ‘Claudette’, ‘In Dreams’, ‘Pretty Woman’, and ‘You Got It’, giving a taster of the concert that never was. With Andy McNish playing the parts of Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and Michael Goulding outstanding as George Harrison they fully earned their standing ovation. Lead guitarist Dzal Martin made a stylish contribution throughout - hardly surprising for someone whose CV reads like a who's who of the recording and touring world - from Beck and Clapton to Terry Reid, and much more. A word too for Dave Stark on drums - a music industry legend and author, who turns out to be a top-quality drummer as well, driving the band with swing and panache. Rebecca Turner was deputising on keyboards for the evening - but you would never have known, as she seemed to know every song inside out and her inventive playing was of the very highest standard and always avoided the obvious. The band's encore sign-off to send everyone home buzzing was a brilliant footstamping rendition of Roll Over Beethoven with Marko Laver, superb throughout, as Jeff Lynne. PROMOTION BEGINS HERE The Trembling Wilburys is the UK's finest tribute to the Traveling Wilburys, the amazing rock supergroup created in 1988 by George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne. The band features a line-up of top musicians and vocalists who perfectly recreate the unique sounds and style of these legendary artists, delivering a high-octane show of the highest standard. Tickets are £22.50 plus booking fee - click here to book The original Traveling Wilburys never played a show together, as Roy Orbison sadly died just after their debut album was released in 1988. The passing of George Harrison in 2001 and Tom Petty in 2017 meant that only Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne are left from the original line-up, so for the past few years the Trembling Wilburys have been giving audiences "the show that never was" to enormous acclaim. Their superb two- set show features a great mix of solo hits by all five original Wilburys, such as 'Here Comes the Sun', "Pretty Woman", "My Back Pages", 'Taxman', "I Won't Back Down", "If Not For You", "You Got It", 'Hold On Tight' and 'Roll Over Beethoven', as well as Traveling Wilburys' classics such as 'End of The Line', 'Handle With Care' and 'She's My Baby'. BAND MEMBERS: Michael Goulding as George Harrison Dave Collison as Roy Orbison Andy McNish as Bob Dylan & Tom Petty Marko Laver as Jeff Lynne Dzal Martin – Lead guitar Rebecca Turner – Keyboards Dave Stark - Drums TICKETS £22.50 (PLUS BOOKING FEE).

A RECENT REVIEW OF THE TREMBLING WILBURYS
The audience at the club absolutely loved them and the band had the great advantage of choosing from the huge selection of songs written by the individual Wilburys. So we had the Big O's rock 'n roll stompers Claudette and Mean Woman Blues; Tom Petty's West Coast number I Won't Back Down; Bob Dylan's country-flavoured I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and George's classic ballad Here Comes The Sun, as well as all the favourites you might expect.
I loved the way singer-guitarist Andy McNish (who performed as both Dylan and Petty) kept in character throughout the show; and also how the whole band provided superb backing vocals. Dave Collison has mastered to perfection the voice of Roy Orbison, not a mean feat as the Big O had one of the most distinctive voices in pop. Dave also works in his own right as the UK’s leading Roy Orbison tribute act.
The second set began with another selection of magnificent tunes including Harrison's Something, Hold On Tight - Marko Laver transforming into Jeff Lynne of ELO - and Dylan's My Back Pages. The band cleverly left the best Wilbury tracks to last - End Of The Line (the song that brought to an end the comedy series One Foot In The Grave) and the brilliant Handle With Care. The encores included Del Shannon's 1961 pop smash Runaway and a marathon version of Roll Over Beethoven, which linked both Harrison and Lynne.
Full marks to the three backing musicians too - long-term drummer Dave Stark; keyboard man Steve Salvari (hidden at the back of the Club) and lead guitarist and top session man Dzal Martin who was awesome on the solos on Something and You Got It. By the end there was a packed dance floor and Club members and guests went home happy after two and a quarter hours of great music.
