#Without doubt, this is the definitive portrayal of Roy Orbison - the man, his music & his life

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.

Only the Lonely, Running Scared, Sweet Dream Baby, Candy Man, Blue bayou, In Dreams, Anything You Want, Crying, Workin for the Man, Penny Arcade, Pretty Woman and many more….

Orbison’s life was littered with personal tragedy, & career highs & lows. His wonderful resurgence in popularity in the late 80’s through his legendary ‘Black & White Night’ Concert, his solo album ‘Mystery Girl’, & the formation of the Supergroup ‘The Traveling Wilburys’ was a fitting final chapter for such a creative genius.
