Bekki’s first - and only - open air concert was performed as a part of Derby’s 'Big City Bash' in 1996.  She hates this one. The weather was boiling (even worse underneath stage lights!) and she made every mistake possible.

Says Bekki: "My fingers were so clammy with the heat and stage fright that they kept slipping off the keys… I must have sounded more like Les Dawson than anything else!"

To make matters worse, the concert was aired on BBC Radio Derby as a simultaneous live broadcast. She received a DAT copy of this broadcast and has never played it since. In fact, she tells us that it "mysteriously got left behind when I moved house a few years ago". 'Nuff said…

On the bright side, some great music was heard from Michael Shipway and AirSculpture. Music played by Bekki was taken from Elysian Fields and the set lasted for 35 minutes.

Or should that be "35 minutes too long…"
