Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I am flexible on timings and understand that things are subject to change. If anything does change in the run up to the event just let me know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
This is not something that I offer.
How much time do you need to set up?
I arrive around an hour and a half before I am due to perform in order to set up.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely! I have a large number of Elvis songs in my repertoire any of which may be chosen for me to perform. To follow the pattern of a typical Elvis concert from 1969 - 1977, I usually open with either C.C. Rider, That's Alright Mama or Blue Suede Shoes and close with Can't Help Falling In Love. The songs in between can be chosen by you if so desired.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I provide my own P.A. and, if required, lighting.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I have a large number of his songs in my repertoire but Elvis does have a huge back catalogue of music. Unfortunately not all of these are available in backing track form or are of substandard quality, however, if there is a song that doesn't appear in my list, I am happy to try and source a backing track although this is not guaranteed. A £30 fee applies.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My voice and my interaction with the audience is what I get complimented on the most. Like Elvis I have fun and enjoy what I do on stage without tipping over into parody. Everything I do on stage is in keeping with the spirit of a live performance by Elvis.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
A small sample of venues I have played include, but are not limited to:
White Acres Holiday Park
Trecco Bay Holiday Park
The Walrus, Plymouth
The Winter Gardens, Blackpool
I have also played many public houses, golf clubs, restaurants, hotels, community centres, Legions and clubs as well as halls for private events.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I'm an Elvis Presley tribute so, being a big fan of his, my act is obviously geared toward replicating his live appearances and songs. However, I also like to listen to a wide variety of music in my spare time.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Trecco Bay Holiday Park in Wales, where I will be playing again after being invited back. This will be usurped by a cruise that I am due to perform on in October 2019.
