It was Alison who really wanted to see Elkie Brooks, so a concert at The Stables in Milton Keynes was not to be missed. And what a great evening it turned out to be. An intimate 400 seat venue was perfect, and being in the fourth row at the side was superb. And boy can she still sing. Elkie may be my age but she sounds as good as she ever did, belting out all her most popular songs together with some great blues numbers. An interval after an hour on stage, and then back for the final 45 minutes of a great show. Her six piece band were very good, especially a highly talented sax player. I had just wished she had saved "Don't Cry Out Loud" for the end. It sent shivers down my spine.
