ELGIN TOWN HALL For The Community
It is wonderful to see venues advertising live music once again; we have all missed it so much! Many musicians, as reported in the last issue of Lifestyle, did a fantastic job of keeping us entertained on their live streams and Facebook lives. Lockdown would have been so much harder without all their fantastic efforts. Many of them also used their time well, writing new material and rehearsing for what we have all been waiting for; the time to get back out on the stage, in front of a live audience, where they belong.

One of those venues is Elgin Town Hall and they have many music acts performing from now up to the end of the year.
McFleetwood Atom Heart Floyd
Starting with The Skids on the 21st Oct. They are a Scottish punk rock and new wave rock band from Dunfermline, Fife, The Skids whose biggest successes were the single Into the Valley in 1979 and their album The Absolute Game in 1980.
They currently have five members in the band.
November brings four completely different performances from Atom Heart Floyd, Johnny
Lee Memphis, Eva Cassidy: The Story and
McFleetwood. I’m sure there’s something to suit every musical taste.
On the 12th Nov Atom Heart Floyd promise to deliver a show that will immerse you in a visual experience throughout. Having shared a passion to reproduce the classic sound of Pink Floyd Live, the band performs songs from across the entire Pink Floyd back catalogue. You don’t want to miss this!
Absolute Elvis featuring Johnny Lee Memphis. Johnny is Scotland’s very own Elvis and won the Elvis World Cup in 2010. Charles Stone, Elvis Presley’s Tour Manager and close friend said, “If you have the opportunity to see Johnny perform, don’t miss it, he is doing Elvis proud”.
Elsa Jean McTaggart presents a tribute to her all-time favourite artist Eva Cassidy on the 19th
Nov. She brings alive the essence of Eva, with her voice and guitar, as she relates the songs to the beautiful and yet tragic story of one of the world’s most iconic voices, which was not brought to light until years after her untimely death at 33. Elsa has devised this very special show to pay homage to this true interpreter of song. Featuring Wonderful World, Time After Time, Somewhere Over The Rainbow and many more.
Last but not least on the
20th November they bring
McFleetwood, Scotland’s tribute to Fleetwood Mac. McFleetwood’s energetic performances will satisfy Mac fans old and new with classic hits such as Go Your Own Way, Don’t Stop, Dreams, You Make Lovin Fun, Gypsy, Little Lies, The Chain and many more.
December brings another selection of fabulous acts for your entertainment. The
3rd Dec is the date
for Goodbye Mr Mackenzie. The band reformed following on from the success of their 30th anniversary shows celebrating their debut album Good Deeds and Dirty Rags. “The atmosphere at the packed UK dates in 2019 was electric, culminating in a spectacular and emotional return to The Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow in December.”
2020 should have seen the band tour across Scotland including Elgin. Like many others they have now rescheduled so now is your chance to hear them again.
On the 4th Dec Steve
Mitchell brings you his brand new theatre show 'George Michael Live.'
You will be taken on a musical journey of George’s greatest hits and Wham tracks with a full live band. The show is based on George's 25 Live Tour and audiences are treated to stunning
musical arrangements and exciting versions of songs such as Fastlove, Faith, Careless Whisper, Outside and Freedom.
The 18th Dec brings an early Christmas
present. The Complete Stone Roses &
Definitely Oasis, two of the UK’s best known tribute acts recreate two iconic events in British Music History: the 30th anniversary of The Stone Roses iconic Glasgow Green gig and 25 years since the release of What’s The Story Morning Glory. The Complete Stone Roses are one of the UK’s most well-known, most seen and most successful tribute bands. Definitely Oasis are regarded by many Oasis fans and promoters alike as one of the best Oasis tribute bands there is. A rousing end to the year on the 28th Dec with the amazing Red Hot Chilli Pipers. Bagpipes with attitude, drums with a Scottish accent and a show so hot it carries its own health warning. The band’s achievements have reached incredible heights with their ground breaking fusion of traditional Scottish music and rock/pop anthems which they proudly call ‘bagrock’ You’ll need to be quick to catch these tickets!
