EIGHTIES singer/song-writer and Brit Award nominee Elkie Brooks has announced a concert at Leeds Grand Theatre.
The gig on April 29 next year by the legendary blues-oriented singer will come towards the end of a long tour that kicks off this month.
Originally with the bands Dada and Vinegar Joe, the husky-voiced Brooks made her name as a solo artist in the late seventies and eighties.
She scored hit singles including Pearl’s A Singer, Lilac Wine, Don’t Cry Out Loud, Fool (If You Think It’s Over) and No More The Fool, and the top-selling album Pearls.
By April 2012, Brooks had released more albums to reach the top 75 of the UK album chart than any other British female artist, a record later equalled by Kate Bush.
Elkie Brooks embarks on a UK-wide tour from July 2017 to coincide with the release of her compilation album Pearls - The Very Best Of.
