1984
Fears that Elkie Brooks was being drawn into the shallow but lucrative world of cabaret were soon dispelled at Hammersmith Odeon as she powered through a gutsy rock orientated show much to the delight of an enthusiastic audience which spanned the age spectrum.
Backed by a tight and talented combo that included the ever versatile Duncan Mackay on keyboards and the more than competent Zal Cleminson on lead guitar. Elkie proved that her voice is equally at home with hard rock as it is with the slower numbers.
Much of the featured material was drawn from the Pearls albums with the inevitable Pearl's A Singer and Lilac Wine standing out, while the arrangement and execution of Nights in White Sagin was one of the shows many highlights
