Elkie Brooks @ Sage Gateshead - March 8 - Take 1

Just re-living last night's fantastic concert at Sage Gateshead by Elkie Brooks. Ann Alex's review is to follow so regard this as the prologue.

I first saw Elkie at Sunderland Empire nearly 40 years ago and I couldn't believe that the voice is still as good now as it was then - maybe even better!

A class act, a super band and a threatened punch-up between our Row K neighbours and the row in front.

What better for a night out?

Over to you Ann...

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
