OT: Eartha Kitt

Slightly 'off topic', but for fans of Eartha Kitt, she is on 'Later Live with Jools Holland' tonight followed by four dates at the Pigalle Club and then two at the Cheltenham Pump Room for the festival there. Will let you know how they go, as a couple of Sondheim numbers usually pop up in her act.

RE: OT: Eartha Kitt

Eartha Kitt was out of this world. The Pigalle has great atmosphere and the crowd was really up for a party. The Cheltenham Music festival was a slightly more sedate affair. In Cheltenham I was interviewed on film for possible inclusion on the new Eartha Kitt 'live' DVD. I'm Still Here' and 'Could I leave You' were both present in the shows as expected. (I was going to say present and correct but she changed the lyrics for 'I'm Still here' from 'Herbert and J Edgar Hoover' to 'Johnson and Richarded (sic) Nixon'. 'I'm Still Here' made a great opener - ( she has used this to close her shows in thge past).

Eartha Kitt is still the 'most exiting woman in the world' and going stong at 81 years old!!!
