Yes you did read the title right – Sir Elton John played at the Somerset County Cricket Club in Taunton on Sunday.
Taunton, the sleepy county town of Somerset managed to pull of a major event by having the legend that is Sir Elton John perform at the towns cricket ground. I have to say that I am somewhat amazed that he actually came to such a small town after having seen his name in big lights when I was in Las Vegas a couple of years ago…. Vegas, Taunton… hmmm
I’m by no means an Elton fan – yeah I like some of his older stuff (Rocket Man etc..) and I only really went along for the experience, but I have to say that the evening was a very enjoyable experience, I only hope that this will be the first of many concerts in the town.
Elton is a huge cricket fan and is pals with Ian Botham who was at the gig with fellow cricketer Andy Caddick.
