An exceptional performer with an unmistakable voice which has earned her the moniker ‘British Queen Of Blues,’  Elkie Brooks never fails to captivate her audience.

Talking about her forthcoming June 2024 Cardiff live date, Elkie said today;

“I love performing in Wales.  The audiences are always so appreciative, so full of energy, and after 40+ long years of performing a well-worn repertoire both myself and my band really feed off the vibrancy of the crowd.  And believe me – the people of Cardiff know how to have a good time!  When an audience brings their A game, I’ll certainly bring mine.”
