What's on...

Thanks to everyone that came out to The Naval Club in Lincoln on Friday.  Special thanks to Katie and her team for organsing such a lovely evening.  You were a great audience and really made the dance floor shake the whole night!  It was good to see so many familiar faces and to make some new friends too.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of returning to Napoleons Casino in Hull.  If you have never been to this venue please do give it a try as the staff are so welcoming and friendly and it is great evening out with good food, music and of course the gaming tables for a little flutter!

My next appearance will be at The Conservative Club in Gainsborough on March 20th.  I look forward to seeing you there.

Best wishes

Britain's Best Elvis Contest 2009

In December 2008 I made it through the qualifying rounds of Britain's Best Elvis Competition 2009.  The final was held at Kings Hall, Stoke, and hosted by the Official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain.

Contestants were short listed after competing in contests held throughout the UK.

Many thanks to Sue and Craig Toyne of the Lincolnshire Branch of the OEPFC for organising the qualifying heat at 'The Jailhouse' in Lincoln and for Steve for hosting the event in his own inimitable style!

Sue is President and founder of the Lincolnshire Branch of the OEPFC.
