ELKIE BROOKS LEGEND

Another great night at Theatre Severn Shrewsbury seeing the legend that is Elkie Brooks.
She has been telling us for 38 years that Pearl's A Singer but then so is Elkie mixing jazz, blues, rock in an energetic performance that was a raw as one could get - no big stage sets, no major lighting effects, not even an introduction as she took to the stage and belted out number upon number acknowledging the almost sell out audience.
Celebrating her 70th birthday during this tour, like a bottle of fine wine (lilac or otherwise) Elkie gets better with age.
