As a tribute act, Elspeth sings under the name of ELLIE SCOTT. She sings the songs of Connie Francis and Brenda Lee.
Connie Francis was born Constance Franconero, in New Jersey on December 12th 1938. At the age of 16, she signed for M.G.M. Records, but it was two years later before her recording career took off. It was her father who suggested that she record “Who’s Sorry Now”, which went straight into number 1 in 1958.
Following this, Connie astounded the record industry and the world at large, with five consecutive hits in the single year of 1958. She achieved the unparalleled distinction of selling over 7 million records in a 12 month period. The rest of her story is history. Hit after hit followed which finally made her an international star, who has been in demand for concert and TV appearances for over 25 years.
Ellie Scott’s highly acclaimed portrayals of Connie Francis and Brenda Lee is unique, and one of the most original and authentic shows currently being staged in the UK and Europe. Seeing and believing that you are back, reliving those magical years of the 1950’s, and to hear all of Connie and Brenda’s hits, performed live is truly amazing!
Ellie has appeared in several touring Rock’n’Roll Shows in major theatres and concert venues throughout the UK. She regularly takes part in shows with Paul Neon (Billy Fury) & the Saints, Johnny Earle (Elvis), Mark Robinson (Buddy Holly) and many other stars of the 1950’s/60’s.
Press Reviews
...Another tribute act, this time to Connie Francis, followed from Ellie Scott. Almost a dead ringer for the original, what with the knee-length dress fluffed out with a froth of petticoats, she gave us a cheerful saunter through the cream of the Francis hits...
THE STAGE, SHOWCALL SHOWCASE
...Our Spring Show on the 23rd was a great night.. but the outstanding star was the first act of the show ELLIE SCOTT. She sang tribute songs of Connie Francis and Brenda Lee and she not only sang them perfectly but she looked like them too. She was fantastic and would be welcome again...
