Elkie Brooks will bring her Long Farewell Tour to Bournemouth 2025

After 64 years of performing live, the “British Queen of Blues”, Elkie Brooks, is to undertake her Long Farewell Tour, visiting Bournemouth Pavilion on Sunday 2 March 2025.

In celebration of her illustrious career in music, the award-winning singer will perform her biggest hits including “Pearl’s A Singer”, “Lilac Wine”, “Fool (If You Think It’s Over)”, “Don’t Cry Out Loud” alongside material from her eagerly anticipated new album. 

Elkie said: “I love performing live. 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 British people know how to have a good time!  When an audience brings their A-game, I’ll certainly bring mine.”

Elkie Brooks rose to fame aged just 15, when she won a talent contest at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, judged by Don Arden, manager of Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and The Small Faces.  She released her solo debut album in 1975. 

The hits flowed, and her million-selling 1981 album, Pearl, stayed on the charts for 79 continuous weeks. Over the next 25 years, she released some 20 albums and by 2012 she had more chart albums under her belt than any other British female artist.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to see this truly remarkable artiste on her ‘Long Farewell Tour’ at Bournemouth Pavilion on Sunday 2 March 2025.
