When performing his tribute act, James conveys Elvis’s charisma and sense of playfulness, which he combines with his own personality. His twenty year career as a Sony Award-winning national and regional radio presenter has given James the ability to really connect and engage with an audience.
James has taken his show around the U.K. and entertained at holiday parks, hotels, golf clubs, festivals, charity dinners, cabaret bars, legions and social clubs, as well as on a cruise ship around the Mediterranean.
Alongside playing Elvis onstage James sings backing vocal for the “E.P. Project”, a Canadian backing track company that specialises exclusively in note-for-note replications of Elvis’ concerts from the 1970’s using real instruments. He has flown to Canada and appeared on three albums which also feature two of Elvis’ own stage musicians from the time.
Q: How long does setup take?A: Around 1.5 hrs, which includes changing into costume/make-up. Q: What are your space and power requirements?A: At least two free wall power sockets, preferably right behind, or just to the side of the performance area. The wall sockets must not be attached to extension leads with other things plugged in.
Space should be at least ten feet in width and roughly the same in depth - this can be worked around but it would alter the sound and the maximum volume due to lack of speaker separation. In some smaller venues, one speaker would suffice but that would be decided upon arrival. Q: Do you take requests?A: If the event is a private party, then you can customise your set list (or lists) by choosing from the repertoire on my website when the booking is confirmed. I do take requests at public shows, however, there isn't always time to fulfil each one, and some songs may not be available.
A fun and lively tribute to The King. Get your guests up and dancing to Elvis' hits from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
