Billy Joel Songbook to visit Basingstoke’s The Anvil

After sold-out tours across the UK and Europe, Elio Pace and his band will bring The Billy Joel Songbook to The Anvil on Sunday, October 19.

The successful live show will go on a tour in September and October, stopping at 20 theatres across England, Scotland, and Wales.

Tickets can be purchased at eliopace.com/tours.

The show is described as the “greatest love letter ever to the genius that is Billy Joel.”

Elio and his band plan to perform more than 30 of Joel’s hits, including The Longest Time, She’s Always A Woman, An Innocent Man, Uptown Girl, Tell Her About It, The River of Dreams, We Didn’t Start The Fire, and Piano Man.

Elio said: “I’d love for us to play every single, but with so many songs in this great man’s back catalogue, we’d need a four-hour show.

“It’s so exciting to be returning with The Billy Joel Songbook, though, and I promise we’ll get as many of everyone’s favourite songs on the setlist as possible.”

Over the past three years, The Billy Joel Songbook has been performed in more than 50 venues in the UK and Ireland, and earlier this year, a special recording of the full show at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre on Joel’s 75th birthday was broadcast via BBC Sounds.

Elio added: “We all feel privileged every time we walk on a stage to perform the music of Billy Joel.

“His music is timeless, he is a genius composer and, in my opinion, the greatest singer-songwriter of all-time.

“The fact that so many people want to see us perform this is incredibly humbling.”

Elio has shared the stage with stars such as Sir Brian May, Huey Lewis, Glen Campbell, and more.

He was even invited to star in five special reunion concerts in the USA with Joel’s original 1971-72 touring band in 2013 and 2014.

The success of these American shows led to the debut tour of The Billy Joel Songbook.
