Elkie Brooks at the Concorde tonight. Full house, and went down an absolute storm.

 ![IMG20231102223400](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/7/0/70befa0e85a3e66d635ba3379c1aadefc36c5fe6.jpeg)

Did all her hits, and finished with terrific covers of Purple Rain and We’ve Got Tonight. My personal highlights were Fool if you think it’s over, and Nights in white satin.

We were sat next to Elkie’s cousin, Susan Bookbinder, who had a namecheck from the maestro 😄😄 Great evening, really enjoyed it.

Am sure it was wonderful and I have a soft spot for her & her music

Loved the fact everyone had posh chairs.

Hopefully it wasn’t just the 12 from around the dinner table 😉

They are terrible. Those “chairs” only get wheeled out when it’s a sellout, uncomfortable doesn’t begin to describe them 😄😄

Back in student days, I knew another of her cousins, Mike Perlman, and we got to meet her when she was having chart success (1978 or 79) and he was also related to Jack Rosenthal and Maureen Lipman.

Talk about name droppers, I have a friend who was a reporter for _Melody Maker_ back in the day. His claim to fame was he was the only person to ever get a interview with Nick Drake.  
Unfortunately it turned out he was wrong, a reporter on _Jackie Magazine_ also got a review. 🤣 🤣

If they play the theme from ‘Streethawk’ give them a clap from me 👍

To be brutally honest, I wouldn’t have known it if they did play it. The only stuff of theirs I’m familiar with is the score they did for Risky Business 😄😄 they did play the main theme from that.

Great first half. 👍 Great 30 minutes after the break. 👍👍  
Then an absolutely interminable exercise in freeform self-indulgence for a good (well actually, fucking awful) 45 minutes. We sat it out to the bitter end, unlike at least a quarter of the Royal Circle. And I can’t blame those who fucked off early one little bit.

I saw Tangerine Dream at the Gaumont Scotty, must have been the late 1970s or thereabouts. I was a fan of the hippy trippy stuff in those days, still am a bit, Caravan, Softs, Gong etc, but I remember TD were hard going, most of it a forgettable self indulgent noise, and that was after a couple of jazz woodbines! I remember giving up after about an hour and going for a bevy.
