Great voice , good show but backing music too loud at times threatening to drown Oliver, almost as if a competition, who is more important Oliver or the backing music.

Excellent performer with mesmerising talent and skill. Captures the emotion and beauty of Roy Orbison’s music and shows sincere enjoyment and likability whilst doing so. A pleasure to watch, deserves all the support and praise. Would definitely go back next year if he comes again.

Oliver put on an incredible show - his voice was Roy Orbison reborn. It was an accurate and touching tribute to a wonderful showman. Oliver's affable personality shone through and we left wanting more, having thoroughly enjoyed the show. Great music in a fitting venue.

What a voice! Great selection of hits and the voice is uncannily like the real Roy Orbison. Highly, highly recommended!

I've been a huge Orbison fan for likely longer than Oliver Harris has been alive, and am generally annoyed by anyone who thinks they can imitate his unique heartfelt delivery. To quote a favorite album title, "There is Only One Roy Orbison," but Harris comes closer than anyone I've ever seen or heard at capturing the essence of the great performer. His voice moves from lovely to fill-the-opera-house huge with astounding apparent ease, and his friendly aside comments (in his native accent, very much not Texas!) warm the audience to him more. The Big O is gone, but the joy of seeing such a loving tribute, in such an intimate setting, is almost substitute enough.
