RIP frank wilson ....a true legend and do i love you love you indeed i do ..sir ...thank you for introducing myself to the soul which i listened to your track many many times ....all Elgins shows will be dedicated to yourself for the fantastic work and songs you gave our uk scene ...god bless frank.

at each venue we will have on sale " Just Like you Did Me " on The Detroit label for £10. Yvonne will be signing the covers .

There is only one Original member alive who owns the rights to the name The Elgin's and started the group as The Downbeats .. and that is Johnny Dawson , sadley due to his knee problems and health Johnny dont work anymore and as already stated The Elgin's don't either. next in line to johnny is Yvonne who joined the group 1968 replacing Sandra . when Ian reformed them for the Motorcity prodjcet he had Johnny .. Yvonne ..Norman .. and Jimmy Charles . after Ians prodject the group fell again with no work until 2007 when i reformed them with Yvonne and Jimmy Charles and Percy Williams ( The Metros ) .. Sadley Percy Passed away Novomber 2011 . with Johnny Dawson's blessing myself and Yvonne are keeping the legacy alive for The Elgin's ... Yvonne s never performed ... Just like you did me or Does he love me anymore live ! so we have decided to mix the live shows with Yvonne's solo work and The Elgin's classics . at present there is a fake group performing in the states as The Motown Elgin's check them out on You tube .. we are going to be taking legal ation with this group as they have nothing to do with Johnny's group .. This is the nearest best thing for an Elgin's show today with the conection with a contract signed at Motown with lead singer Yvonne Vernee Allen ... and most Important The Legacy Continues .

All venue's will have on stage The Elgin's with Lead singer Yvonne Vernee . The group have not worked since Ian levine's Motorcity prodject until 2007 when myself reformed them to appear at Northampton weekender and JCT 2 alldayer ... and yet again haven't worked since then so it's a pleasure to keep the legacy alive and bring The Elgin's show back to the Uk .. with Lead singer Yvonne Vernne Allen .

plus pete its signed by Fred Bridges

I will post up full address of venue tomorrow and ticket price
