Michael King's 'On Tour With Elvis' is without doubt the UK's authoritative touring Elvis show.
An exciting Vegas show filled with Elvis' greatest hits and more delivered live in true Elvis style. This is a night of pure breath-taking Elvis entertainment plus the best Elvis sound you will hear!
Michael is the only UK Elvis performer to have received the 'Las Vegas Elvis Icon Award' for his performances there with Elvis' very own Jordanaires.
David Stanley, Elvis' step-brother and bodyguard said:
"Michael King has the moves, the look and the voice. I saw Elvis in concert over 1000 times and watching Michael is nothing short of spooky"
Authenticity is of paramount importance in the show from the fantastic arrangements performed by what must be the best set of Elvis musicians to the authentic jumpsuits made for Michael in the USA from the exact same original patterns used for Elvis' own stage wear.
Michael King's 'On Tour With Elvis' is without question one of the most powerful and authentic Elvis shows ever seen. Regarded by many in the business as the premier live Elvis tribute show in the U.K.
Michael manages to re-create and re-capture the essence and the power of an Elvis performance in a way many can only dream of. If you only get to see one Elvis show this year, then Michael King's 'On Tour With Elvis' show is the one not to be missed.

The ELO Show - The World's greatest tribute to the music and Genius of Jeff Lynne and ELO
Local and international musician Brian Cummins brings his brand-new show celebrating the music of Jeff Lynne and E.L.O. with a band of amazing musicians including a female string section this will be a fabulous night of hit after hit from such a vast back catalogue.
Jeff Lynne and ELO famously carried on the legacy of the Beatles where in his own words he wanted to "Carry on from where I am the Walrus left off' and combined Classical music with motifs of the greats with Rock and Roll like no other musician before. The album 'Out of the Blue' released in 1977 catapulted them into Rock history and truly made them one of the biggest bands in the World at the time.
After many years of touring Jeff parted ways with the band to focus on producing some of the greatest musicians of the time namely, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney and The Beatles.
Jeff resurrected the ELO legacy in 2014 with a new line-up and a stunning stage show and has been touring the World Arenas and stadiums to this day.
The ELO SHOW has a stunning lightshow and 3D video screens very similar to Jeff's current backdrop.
Expect songs like, 'Evil Woman', Don't bring me down', 'Telephone Line', 'Sweet Talkin Woman', 'Turn to stone', 'Wild west Hero', 'The Diary of Horace Wimp' and of course the legendary 'Mr. Blue Sky' plus many more with a surprise or two.
Don't miss out on this fantastic night of nostalgia and classic tunes.
