The ELO connection

Despite being primarily a country/folk performer Fruity's love of all things ELO brings in a smattering of rock influences. He hates to perform a gig without at least one Jeff Lynne or Roy Wood song and his style owes a lot to Roy's multi-instrumentalist approach. His tracks include the classic Roy Spoof "Song of Peace")

Fruity says " I have been fortunate enough to have met Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, Mik Kaminski and Kelly Groucutt. I would love to add Jeff Lynne to that list"
