Get all shook up at Elvis tribute show!

6:00am Wednesday 8th August 2012 in Leisure

IT’S NOW or Never! Award-winning Elvis tribute, A Vision of Elvis, starring Rob Kingsley and The Cadillacs Band, is at Swansea Grand Theatre for one night only on Monday August 13 at 7.30pm.

Entertainer Rob Kingsley has studied Elvis for many years and is now recognised as the top Elvis Tribute Artist in Europe, winning the 2008 European Championship at Europe’s largest competition for Elvis tributes.

Rob is recognised as a world class entertainer, with his shows dedicated to paying tribute to ‘The Greatest Performer and Entertainer’ that ever lived! All performances are completely authentic, even down to the stunning costumes imported from the USA and designed by BK Enterprises and Gene Doucette, who was one of Elvis’s costume designers.

And for one night only, local boy ‘Jelvis’ Jamie M c D o n n e l l - Roberts, from Gorseinon near Swansea, will appear as a special guest on the A Vision of Elvis show. Following a career break Jelvis is back for his first live performance in over three years – now bigger and better than ever and ready to Rip It Up.

Jelvis has been paying tribute to Elvis since the age of 13 with numerous TV & Radio Appearances, including the BBC’s World’s Greatest Elvis Show, where he met Rob Kingsley.

Jamie then went on to be the youngest ever “Images Of The King”

finalist in Memphis and he has even performed with The Stamps, Elvis’ original backing singers.

In this evening of fantastic entertainment you will hear all the great classics, including Suspicious Minds, Are You Lonesome Tonight?, Blue Suede Shoes and many more, all accompanied by a live band and backing singers, The Sweet Sensations.

Tickets are available from Swansea Grand Theatre’s Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £14.50 & £17.50 with selected concessions available.
