MOODY Blues fans will be flocking to Weymouth Pavilion next month.

Six legendary musicians, singers and songwriters will perform the music of The Moody Blues in the brand-new stage show Legend of a Band at Weymouth Pavilion on Wednesday August 3 at 7.30pm.

The line-up consists of the Moody Blues performers drummer Gordy Marshall and keyboard player Paul Bliss who performed together in the English rock band for more than 20 years.

They will be joined by 10CC lead singer Mick Wilson and Tim Maple, a guitarist for Leona Lewis and Westlife.

Also performing is Malcolm Moore, a bass player for James Blunt and Joss Stone. Completing the line-up is flautist/singer/saxophonist Lindsay Goodhand.

Show promoter Pete Tobit said: “Both Gordy and Paul have performed with the Moody Blues for more than 20 years playing the world’s most prestigious venues, including Wembley Arena, The O2 Arena and Royal Albert Hall.

“As well as being the lead singer with 10CC, Mick’s incredible vocals have also featured with likes of Lionel Richie, Kylie Minogue and Smokey Robinson.

“Tim’s credits include a long list of hit singles while Malcolm, when not recording hits with the likes of One Direction and Alison Moyet, is a mainstay of West End musicals.

“It takes incredibly talented performers to do justice to the acclaimed music of the Moody Blues. Legend is a word not used lightly in the title of this incredible production.”

Songs featured are the lavish Nights in White Satin, number one hit Go Now and many other classic Moody Blues songs including Tuesday Afternoon, Legend of a Mind (Timothy Leary’s Dead), I Know You’re Out There Somewhere, Question and Isn’t Life Strange.

Other highlights include a moving performance of Justin Hayward’s Forever Autumn and a rendition of Eve of the War from Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds album, a chapter of the production that Pete describes as “show stealing”.

“The evening is an intriguing insight into the Moody Blues, the kings of the concept album,” says Pete. “Relive classic, million-selling albums Days of Future Passed, In Search of the Lost Chord, On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children’s Children and more.”
