    Elsie and her musicians put on a quality show. Her energy and voice quality are outstanding. Make the effort to go and see her. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

    I did a gig with Vinegar Joe in the early 70's and met Elkie, she enthralled is with a tale about her early days, I was so glad when she made it and went to see her at the NEC in Birmingham, so great to see she's still performing.

      Don Arden was a complete low life but I don't know if he ever ripped her off. Elkie certainly got let down by her accountant I think years ago. Had to sell up to pay a massive tax bill and lived in her tour bus for a while. She got herself back on her feet through sheer hard work.
