Hear is a YouTube video of "Jewel and Johnny" the first track on The Orchestra's album "No Rewind".
This song was written by guitarist Parthanon Huxley, it harks back to the classic ELO sound, it's like "Mr Blue Sky" meets "The Diary Of Horace Wimp". A lively upbeat sound that gets your feet tapping, I really like this song from a now rare album. "No Rewind" has never been on general release, if you can get hold of a copy for a good price, my advice is buy it. "No Rewind" is a really good collection of well written and well performed songs. The band lineup for this album includes three ex-ELO members :- Mik Kaminski, Kelly Groucutt and Louis Clark.

There were a number of ELO sounding songs through the back catalogue of ELO part 2 and the Orchestra eg "Honest Men" on the album "ELO part 2" sounds like a Jeff Lynne classic, and "Power of a million lights" on "Moment of Truth" could also have been written by our Jeffrey

The same goes for OrKestra and Kelly's self titled solo album, Beyond The Dream from the OrKestra album is a great track. The ELO Part II album is "Moment of Truth", "Balance of Power" was an ELO album from 1986 which was written by our Jeffrey.
Here is Kelly backed by Bev, Mik and Lou performing Kelly's song "Am I a Dreamer".

Louis Clark all over this. Nice MTV played the banners with background info on the artist.

Thanks Bluey. My mistake. I've now changed it.

I posted this video on an earlier thread stating that this could have been ELO part1 and 1/2, the missing link between ELO and Part2

This video was recorded in 1982 to promote Kelly's solo album, a full year before ELO's "Secret Messages" album was recorded in 1983, ELO didn't officially split up until after the "Balance Of Power" album was released and a final live tour 1986.

"Jewel and "Johnny" is my favorite ELOP2/Orchestra song. "Over London Skies" being a close second.

I also like "Honest Men".
For members who aren't familiar with "Over London Skies", here it is.
