Good ole Elliot..Enjoyed that dude when I heard him way back in 2006. Best of luck to him.

 

[WellFedDave]

Elliot was one of the best parts of that resort. Bad form POFQ...

 

[MouseDreaming]

Oh no! That is terrible. After reading, it sounds like it wasn't his choice, either. I also hope this wasn't someone's brilliant idea to save a little.

 

[Unomas]

Maybe they'll bring in someone new, for a fresh sound.

 

[littleroo]

I am so saddened by this news. I have listened to him now for years. He is a big reason why we choose POFQ every time! Wish him the absolute best!

 

[MouseDreaming]

@Unomas I really hope so. DS and I always talk about how it would be cool to have a Dixieland jazz combo somewhere at POFQ, but I don't know how feasible something like that would be in that space.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

Oh . I had every intention of swinging by POFQ to have a little wander, a little bite to eat and to listen to Elliot. Poor show Disney.

My understanding is that you can blame the locals for this one. I'm hearing that he was very popular with the local crowd and that they were showing up to many of his performances, sitting in prime locations, staying all night, and buying very little. Yeah, I feel bad for him, but this town really is full of savages.

 

[Unomas]

Yeah, I'm sure they'll bring in someone new right after they open a 5th Gate.

It's not so absurd a thought.
