Post subject: ELVIS LIVES ??? |

We took my son to Tropical Park in Callao Salvaje because they have a mini disco and he loves it.
After the disco Elvis (a Scottish Guy) came on and I thought he was excellent.
Being an Elvis fan, he had a really good voice and did some cheesy jokey stuff. Interacted with the crowd and dealt with hecklers really well.
How many Elvis impersonator's are on the Island.
Who is the best and where does he perform? _________________ Need a cleaner in South Tenerife ? Cleaning just got better... www.maid4tenerife.com

There are many Elvis performers on the Island... not sure how many, as they come and go frequently... then you have the mainstay of core 'Elvi' (the plural of Elvis is Elvi, isn't it?) that have been here yonks, such as Kevin Isaacs (Comedy Elvis) and some others I can't remember at the moment.
I think the collective noun for a group of Elvi, is a 'Burger'  _________________ Buy & Sell your stuff online FREE - www.canarianexchange.com - eBay for the Canaries |

If you're an Elvis fan, keep an eye out for a new book just published entitled 'In Search Of Elvis' by Charlie Connelly.
Charlie Connelly is one of the funniest travelog type writers around, he had a big hit with his previous book 'The Shipping Forecast' and writes in the same style as Danny Wallace (Join Me) and Dave Gorman (Are You Dave Gorman?)
In Search Of Elvis sees Charlie Connelly travelling the globe and meeting various Elvis impersonators including an Israeli one, a Danish one and one who performs all of the Elvis songs in dead languages.
Great stuff!
Amazon has the books for sale and more info at this site:

I've had to edit and cut your link as it was sooooo long that it distorted our forum. People will still be able to find it by searching. _________________ .

I agree Stevie is really good but I don't know if he is still doing his show because he has been seriously ill and was recently in hospital. _________________ Find out more about me here: http://www.myspacetenerife.com/index.php?page=view_profile&id=10 |
