Award winning websites

The ELO Network Webmastered and updated at least weekly by Jim Hoban. It features sound files, his exhaustive ELO collection, Orchestra tour dates and more. The server, NBCi.com, makes this site hard to bring up, but the information contained is more than enough to make up for the patient wait.

Under London Skies Webmastered by Serena Torz and is the ultimate site for the band Orchestra (formerly known as ELO Part 2). It also the homesite for Orchestra's Egroup. They also publish a fanzine called Under London Skies. This site is loaded with pics from the fans. Highly recommended for you to join the egroup and subscribe to the magazine.

ELO Etcetera Webmastered by Ray Murray. This is the Ultimate ELO weblink site. Crosslinked by site, band name, band member, and an exhaustive link set to egroups, maillists, webrings and clubs. If you want to know if a particular site exists... if it's not listed here... it probably doesn't exist yet!

these sites have been around awhile and are almost best, but are not updated near enough

The Official ELO Fan Club This is the website for the ELO fan club that has been around since the 70's. Lot's of cool stuff. Their links page gets updated every six months. Check out their news section for the latet information on the bands. The only annoying bit about this site is in it's opening design. Make sure your browser supports a large viewing area to get it all in.

Time To Live This is an swesome tribute site to a band the enjoyed the shortest lifespan of any ELO-spinoff band to date. Violinski was the vehicle to showcase the talents of ELO violinist Mik Kaminski.

Rockaria This site at one time was the ultimate information source for any ELO or Move fan. However it has not been updated for over a year and a half, except for the intro promo piece about ELO's new boxset Flashback. Notably missing is information on Roy Wood's post ELO work.

ELO-Music This is the official Sony supported website. A lot of bandwidth. Special effects and flash dominate this yet to be finished work. Allows the surfer to list up with an ELO mail list via Sony. We've been listed with them, but no emails yet.
