We thought it very worthy to celebrate one of the most successful song writing partnerships to come out of the UK so recently we did just that.
We were very fortunate and grateful that our special guest for the day was none other than Ray Williams the man responsible for putting Elton and Bernie together back in 1967 and also managed Elton in his formative years. Ray met with fans many who had travelled a great distance to be with us.
We also had a visit from two of the best Elton tributes around . Paul Bacon better known as Ultimate Elton who has played to many a packed house with his with his band and Ray Johnson once voted on national TV as the best look a like.
In the evening we were very pleased to welcome one of our local bands “Eyes For Gertrude” who played a set of Elton and Bernie’s songs to a grateful audience in our Cross Keys Venue. You can see the performance by following the link below.
