If you were lucky enough to catch either of the two previous times that the Robbers on High Street painstakingly recreated the magic of the Electric Light Orchestra live, then you had probably resigned to the fact that you were part of something very special that would never or could never happen again.

Well after 2 years of nagging and prodding by friends and fans, they have decided to recreate that magic one more time in honor of Jeff Lynne's 65th birthday. Comprised of 10 musicians dressed in full 70's era ELO regalia and featuring a string section, 2 synthesizer stations and 70's era lights and lasers, the Robbers and friends pull off what has been called one of the best ELO tributes in North America. Come join us as we celebrate the birthday of a true musical legend and all things Jeff Lynne. This night is also being touted as the night to celebrate New Years Eve if you have to work on New Years Eve!!  There will be dj's, dancing, raffles and drink specials all night long.
