GO NOW! The Music of The Moody Blues – The Tribute

 

 

---

Simply put…..One of the best concerts I have ever seen.

—T. Davies, TAD Management

 

When this group performed here last year, I got so many people reaching out to let me know how they thought this was the best show they’d ever seen in PebbleCreek, EVER”.

 —  T Baker, PebbleCreek Resort Director

 

PHENOMENAL, is the only word to describe GO NOW! We first had the pleasure and unforgettable experience of watching them live at Medina Theatre march 2019, we could hardly contain our excitement at their return in march 2020, despite being friday the 13th, also the heightened awareness of the Corona virus on the island their loyal following came, and were duly rewarded with a performance that reached the pinnacle of excellence from this super group.

We feel humbled and completely honoured musicians of this calibre chose to play at Medina Theatre Isle of Wight, when they wouldn’t have been out of place on any world class stage or venue. The love, respect, and enjoyment, of the music is what shines through with Go Now, with an appreciative audience being the ultimate compliment. THANKYOU FOR THE MUSIC, is all we can say!!

Having seen these fine band of musicians several times over the last couple of years, this performance was exceptional. They just get better and better. The whole production was outstanding , and the interaction of the band members between each other and with the audience just comes across as people who are really enjoying what they are doing. A great night.

Great show! Only complaint is that I wanted it to go on much longer! (It was a full two hours…but I just didn’t want it to stop!). Hopefully they will return again…❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant! Took my parents and 2 cousins along for their first Go Now! experience and they loved it. My Dad rates Gordy as the best drummer he has ever seen (which is praise indeed!). Great night full if wonderful music and warm humour.

A brilliant evening of the best of the Moody Blues music performed top quality musicians. A full house demonstrates the growing popularity of Go Now!, and the way they authentically replicate the Moody Blues sound.

Again loved it!

Many thanks

Hi Gordy,

I went to see on Friday at The Lancaster Grand Theatre. It was an absolutely fantastic night and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. it was just superb, so much energy with the instrumental and voices being just incredible.

Thanks

—Simon

 

Dear Gordy and company

We had the enormous pleasure of seeing you, and some other fabulous musicians, having a great time at the beautiful Grand Theatre in Lancaster tonight.

What a great gig. No one in that audience went home disappointed. You put on a great show.

We have been fans of the Moodies since for ever.

The Go Now show is fantastic, your energy is all pervading and I, for one, love it. We have seen you with the Moodies many times, loved the Buxton show with John Lodge last year, and will be both fans and promoters of your future shows.

Brilliant. Please keep it going..

—Geoff

 

 

We travelled through time and space to some weird and wonderful places, fuelled by classic songs from albums such as Days of Future Passed, In Search of the Lost Chord and On the Threshold of a Dream that fuelled the show’s other-worldly atmosphere.

Lest we felt too grounded in the interval between sets, the second half opened with music by Moody Blue’s Justin Hayward from the 1978 musical War of the Worlds.

The Go Now! concert tour was the brainchild of drummer Gordy Marshall who played with The Moody Blues for 25 years. He was joined by former 10cc vocalist Mick Wilson, guitarist Nick Kendall, bass player Malcolm Moore and Patrick Duffin on synthesizer.

If you wanted to see musicianship at its very best, you needed to be in Wimborne on Thursday of last week.

Although labelled a ‘tribute’ the band boasts Gordy Marshall, who toured with The Moody Blues for 25 years as a session musician. Not only is he a superb drummer, he plays the keyboard, the mouth organ and the flute. The credentials of the line-up are top class.

Vocalist and percussionist Mick Wilson fronted 10cc for many years; guitarist Tim Maple is a musical director who has worked with the likes of Westlife and Boyzone; Patrick Duffin on keyboards composed the music for Loose Women; Malcolm Moore has worked with the BBC Symphony Orchestra as well as working in West End shows and Lindsay Goodhand plays the keyboard, flute, clarinet and sax.

The band started on a high with ‘I Know You’re Out There Somewhere’ – and they just continued in the same elevated vein. Numbers ranged from the psychedelic ‘House of Four Doors’ to the melodic ‘Isn’t Life Strange’.

In addition, they included the haunting ‘War of the Worlds’ and ‘Forever Autumn’, and of course they had to play their signature number ‘Nights in White Satin’.

The concert was dedicated to Ray Thomas, founding member of The Moody Blues, who died in January.

This excellent band, who had a standing ovation at the end, promised to return next year.

My wife and I were at your concert at The Stables Wavendon, Milton Keynes on the 3 March and this a quick note to tell you much we enjoyed the evening.

The music was stunning as was the band’s interaction with the audience. The quality of your performance was exemplary, and it was a pleasure to be in the company of such accomplished musicians. I have been a fan of the Moody Blues since the release of “Go Now” in 1965 and really love their songs. I introduced my family to them at an early stage and they particularly love Justin Hayward’s contribution to “War of the Worlds.”

Thanks for a superb evening from such talented and humble people.

Best wishes for all your musical activities.

My hubby and me attended your do at the Wavendon Stables on Saturday night (3rd March 2018). You were absolutely fantastic. You should put your sound man in chains and never let him go!! My husband used to play in a band back in the day and I know how difficult it is to get a good balanced sound – he and you nailed it my friend!!

I get how you try to avoid doing an impression of the MB’s, but I fail to see how you can get away from the fact that you are actually that good, most of the people that I spoke to in the interval said so as well.

We both enjoyed the event in the extreme and can’t wait to see you again.

—C. B.

 

 

I would just like to thank you all for a brilliant night at the Stables MK on Saturday, my brother and I were blown away with how good you all were!

Just wanted to say that seeing ‘Legend of a Band’ in Eastbourne a little while back was my favourite concert of all time because of the technical precision of all players, the multi-instrumental and pure quality of each one of you. I’ve been lucky to have seen many concerts over the last 50 years including The Moodies 20+ times, The Blue Jays and even back to The Beatles, Cat Stevens, Everly Brothers, Jimmy Webb, Albert Lee, The Carpenters, The Crickets (my old friend J I Allison) and the incredible Buddy Rich BUT ‘The Legend of a Band’ concert that night in Eastbourne blew me away for which I thank you Gordy from the bottom of my musical heart. I’d dearly love to be a Facebook friend). I attach pic of J I Allison and me when he played here with the Crickets a few years back.
