Elkie Brooks
Elkie Brooks will perform at this year's festival for the first time.
She was just 15 when she left her childhood
home in Manchester to pursue a dream of becoming a singer. She
appeared on package tours with various artists including The Animals
and The Beatles through the sixties - but held on to her love
of jazz. Over the past five decades she has produced 19 studio
albums, and earned numerous awards and accolades. This will be
her first appearance in the City of Derry Jazz Festival.

Elkie Brooks is one of the great jazz singers to come out of the UK. But she told Mark Patterson success was not instant. |

Andrea: My husband, children and I were viciously attacked by snowballers. These are not children. They broke car windscreens last year. Is there no-one who can help?
