There is talent out there

Its been well documented that the recent revival of “stars in their eyes” has been an absolute disaster.As well as being a terrible TV programme ,its also an insult to the tribute act industry as well as club/cabaret acts who travel the length and breadth of the country providing class entertainment to audiences of varying amounts.

Contrary to what the show is saying ,there are great acts out there and here i’m going to mention a selection of acts who are worthy of a visit and support.In the tribute acts section ,the first name i’m going to mention is the star of the show “A Vision Of Elvis”.His name is Rob Kingsley and to me this is the best Elvis Presley show out there.The reason for me saying this will be so obvious in this clip

The great band who provide the music for the 3 visions ie The Sun Records ,after Elvis leaves the army and, my own favourite section,the Las Vegas years are called The Cadillac BandDSC00196-140x140 and like a Cadillac take you on a smooth journey of musical styles and together with Rob provide a night of musical excellence that’s the best at what they do.Do yourself a favour ,if you haven’t seen the please do so,you wont regret it’ p.s The Americans think they have the best Elvis tribute acts/I’ve seen quite a few and to me A Vision Of Elvis would make Elvis himself proud

The next name on my list thats well worth seeing is Joe Longthorne.There isnt enough space on here to tell you his background,suffice to say if he’d been American they would have made a film of his life by now and people would still find his story hard to be believe.Check out his Biographydownload (52) wriiten by Chris Berry.Here’s Joe after another massive chapter in his life

So thats my first two names in my quest to have people go out and see live entertainment at its best without having to rely on waiting till they come on tv to get you to go see them live

These are my favourite memories..so far

Great memories,highlights,call them what you will.At this time of year people look back to things they remember.These are some of  not just my favourite things of this year but in years gone past,because something tells me 2015 will be rather different.So its time for me to look back and times I’ll never forget.Starting off with the best tribute show on the planet

I wondered what it would be like to be able to sing with that band it was only a dream ,wasnt it?

The biggest surprise I had in the summer was being able to see Darren Day live on stage in the summertime.He was brilliant standing in for Joe Longthorne in Vivas summer show”Thats what friends are for”download (51)

I’m looking forward to performing again and the people here and the memories they bring back will be a massive help
