History
The Orchestra certainly has had their ups and downs to get to where they are today. In fact, the Electric Light Orchestra and ELO Part II were both the same band at different times and under different ownership!
Bev Bevan was an original member of Electric Light Orchestra and founder of ELO Part II. By 2000, Bevan sold his 50% share of the Electric Light Orchestra name and the rights to the ELO Part II name to Jeff Lynne. Lynne held the other half as the lead vocalist and sole constant member of the Electric Light Orchestra. Lynne currently retains the full rights to the ELO name.
So, when these former members broke out on their own, they became The Orchestra; a continuation of ELO Part II without use of the name. They released a limited run of their CD No Rewind in 2001. The group has been making music and touring as The Orchestra ever since. They regularly play shows in Chile, Argentina, the UK, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere around the world.
