Go Now! The Music of The Moody Blues LIVE streamed from the Harlequin Theatre

Gordon Marshall, drummer with The Moody Blues for over 25 years, knew that there was a hunger in the market for Moody Blues music.  To fill the void, he put together an amazing group of musicians and formed the band GO NOW!, a tribute to the music of The Moody Blues. Mick Wilson, the lead singer of GO NOW!, was the lead singer with 10cc for over 20 years.  Gordon and Mick are joined on stage by Patrick Duffin, Ryan Farmery and Nick Kendall, and together recreate the magical music we all know including all the major hits.  With 25 years experience with The Moody Blues, Gordon has created true-to-the-original arrangements, making every performance truly magical. The live streamed performance at the Harlequin Theatre in London marks the first time since early spring that the band will come together and perform, on stage at this beautiful theatre, with a brand new, never before seen concert! One-third of all profits made from your purchase will go directly to supporting the Center for the Arts!
