3rd March 2010
Another great night here in Ashford, Nr Staines.
Regular and new customers for the Elvis Tribute Show made for a good night by all.
The 1st set was a nice warm up including some great classics of Elvis, All Shook Up, Devil In Disguise and others.
A short break so people could enjoy the rest of their meal and it is into set 2.
Among all the great songs I cover, I do not think I haveheard as much noise as when the whole restaurant (staff included) joined in with Sweet Caroline, it was fantastic. By the end of the evening every bit of space was taken up by people dancing and having a good time, working off the lovely food served up by Naz and his staff.
Thank you all for your support.
I am back singing here at Kouchin on 21st April 2010.
I look forward to seeing you there…….

Thank you to everyone that came to the Elvis Night at Sesame Restaurant, Kingston Road, New Malden, Surrey.
The crowd from the Wellington Pub always make for a great evening with their banter. All were on good form for this nights Elvis Tribute Show.
Also out celebrating a special occassion were Tina & friends. Any birthday makes for a good night out with the girls as was demonstrated with full use of the grass skirts,wigs and glasses for Rock – A – Hula.
The food and service was great as usual from Jalal and his team.
I am back performing at Sesame on 26th April 2010 and look forward to performing to a fantastic audience again.

Bayee Village, Wimbledon Village, 21st December 2009

Thanks to everyone who braved the continuing bad weather to make it to the restaurant.

From a sold out night to a few not being able to make it because of the snowand icy conditions, a fantastic night was still had by all.

The usual high standard of food from Marco and the staff of Bayee, plus Elvis Tribute Show soon had everyone feeling warm and ready to party.

Once the girls in grass skirts are out and extra Elvis are up for Rock - A – Hula it’s all systems go.

A burst of Blue Suede Shoes and Henry is bopping all over the restaurant.

A short break and it’s round 2,

The opening of CC Rider instantly relights the energy in the crowd and we’re off.

Sweet Carolinegets everyone singing and waving their arms in the air and we are back into full swing.

We had a night of singers in the audience and full use of their vocal talents was used.

Martin, Tricia and Jane all served up great songs on the mic as did the fantastic Aurore & Tish.

As the night ends the local taxi companies are put to the test showing good food a little drink and Elvis make for a great night out.

This night is returning on February 16th 2010 to celebrate “Chinese New Year” and we can do it all over again.

Thank you all again for making it through the bad weather and see you in February.

Chadni Restaurant, Chelmsford, Essex

It’s a long drive to Chelmsford but once there and set up it is all worth it.
A full restaurant always makes for a great evening and tonight was no exception, with regular and new customers all out for a night of good food and re-living some of the great songs made famous by Elvis.
The 1st set was a nice warm up ready for all the big songs from Elvis’ later years.
After the food is finished the 2nd set begins and everyone is ready to work off their meal by dancing and singing to songs such as ” Burning Love” and ” Suspicious Minds”.
It was during this set we all noticed the snow falling but carry on with the party.
The snow continues to fall and within an hour a good few inches have fallen and settled. As the performance comes to an end people start to wonder about getting home and how the country comes to a standstill with the slightest change of weather.
After some photo’s have been taken and printed out, equipment loaded, it is my turn to chance the roads.
Though not a great journey I made it back to SW17 safe & sound.
Thank you everyone for turning up and making this a great night and staying till the end despite the weather.
I will hopefully be returning to Chadni in January 2010 and looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Happy New Year

Elvis Tribute @ Southern Cross, Fulham, 21st November 2009

ELVIS IN FULHAM..…………………Many thanks to everyone that turned up to the Southern Cross, Kings Road, Fulham, on a wet and windy night, especially the rugby team.

Although not a full house on my 1st appearance here, a great time was had by all, again, especially the rugby boys.

These guys loved the opportunity to strip to the waist, put on grass skirts and dance as if on a beach in Hawaii. They nearly brought the house down, literally…LoL . Dancing on the tables and using as much floor space as possible.

Thanks to Nigel the landlord for putting this night on and I will be back on New Years Eve to celebrate the coming of the new year 2010.

See you then

Chalfont Wasps FC – 20 November 2009

Well thanks to people rubberneckin on the A40 Tish and I nearly didn’t make it. But when we got there we had one rockin night with the Chalfont Wasps. With two lovely ‘Marie’s’ in the audience we got them up early to dance to ‘Marie’s the name’ and even though one Marie was two shy to dance, the rest kept going for the rest of the night. ‘Sweet Caroline’ got them up on the tables and they absolutely rocked to ‘Viva Las Vegas’. In fact, thanks everyone, I think that was the best interaction we’ve ever had.

Debbie H…..not so great of you to ruin my hair! And just before singing ‘love me tender’..my all time favourite song of course?? But Deb, I hope you liked it.

Thanks overall to Chalfont Wasps for a great night. Here are some of the pics. You should have seen some of the moves to Johnny be goode’! And, I didn’t catch your name, but you requested ‘I just can’t help believin’ and you were one of the few peoplewho remembers that it continues longer than expected, and didn’t start clapping early. Thank you!

I hope to return soon, keep an eye on the Wasps website and on here for further details.
