This is held very year on the anniversary of his birthday.
Regardless of what you consider his musical influence ,I can't think of another celeb that has so many impersonators.(They mostly seem to be the Fat Elvis.)

Parkes is in the middle of nowhere and miles from nowhere but famous for having the radio telescope which received the first moon landing pictures.
Parkes Elvis Festival
Re: Parkes Elvis Festival
There's a cracking film called "The Dish" about that telescope, typical Australian humour as well.
I like Elvis, there are a fair few songs of his that sit in my mix playlist. Burning Love being my favourite.
It's either very early RnR or Early 70's Vegas for me, not keen on the films but have seen most of them.

That's pretty much my thought too - I love his Sun releases and his early RCA most.Undie wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 11:41 amThere's a cracking film called "The Dish" about that telescope, typical Australian humour as well.

Can't be doing with impersonators though.

oh it's just a bit of fun, I love an Elvis impersonator who really doesn't look anything like him, and no I have never dressed up as anything let alone Elvis

There's a nice bit in the Dish.When the local band play the theme for Hawaii Five-O for some visiting Americans because they didn't know the Star Spangled Wotsit.
