I emailed Rocks three times to ask how I could buy tickets for Julie and Gary but they never even bothered replying. Very bad of them.

Yes, but how many would bother going to see Gerry Dorset (EB's real name) if they were in UK? He's always been a cut-price Frankie after all.

You might have thought that Branwell but if you actually saw him you would now this is not true. The man was pure professionalism... and he had the audience in the palm of his hand, plus, to my knowledge the only entertainer this year (at The Rocks) to actually come back for an encore. Roll on next summer when we might get more.

I saw about half the show because I was the unfortunate lady who was taken ill and had to be rushed to hospital( am fine now by the way). He was terrific, he looked and sounded great! I got my tickets by ringing the hotel and asking to be put on their list for spare tickets. They promised to call me back and they did. Englebert was the last of this summers big names, but the manager at the hotel is promising great things for next year. You just need to keep your ear to the ground!

And that's how you end up getting run over and rushed to hospital...
