Elkie Brooks live @ The Stables

Hopefully you'll have seen the interview the Phonebox magazine did with Elkie Brooks this month in preparation for her upcoming gig, tomorrow at The Stables in Wavendon. If you missed it have a look at the image below, or click here to be taken to the online magazine.

Elkie became a household name in the 70's, and to date has released a total of 21 albums. A clearly talented musician, her music has become a family affair, with both of her sons working with her on her music and her husband working as her sound engineer.

Seated tickets for tomorrow's show are sold out, but standing are still available on a limited basis, so if you've got a ticket or are planning on going, don't waste any time in securing a ticket and we hope you thoroughly enjoy yourself!

The show is set to be a great night as ever, with Elkie performing some of her classic hits of blues and jazz, and we're looking forward to seeing one of the most successful British artists of all time perform tomorrow. The night begins at 8pm, don't be late!
