Elvis Presley Contest Convention Blackpool

Europe largest Elvis Presley contest is coming to Blackpool 8th 9th 10th January 2010!

Elvis Presley possibly the most influential entertainer that the world has ever seen has increased in popularity even in the time of death. Sadly passing away in 1977, Elvis has still entertained the world through the millions of impersonators that sing and mimic the American born singers huge array of songs.

My personal favorite song of Elvis is ‘Always on my Mind’ which was covered back in 1987 by the Pet Shop Boys of all people and became their best selling single. So to remind ourselves of the original here it is:

The Elvis contest and convention is the largest one ever held in Europe and will attract thousands of impersonators from around the world who will watch the three stages of heats and then witness the crowning of Europe’s best Tribute to Elvis.

The contest will hosted at the Norbreck Castle Hotel Blackpool, which is a mere two miles from us in the North Shore Blackpool, either a brisk stroll for 20 minutes or a 2 minute taxi ride. (Remember it is January!)

One must remember that when Elvis first came on the music scene he not only sang but moved his body in a way that was deemed rude and offensive! Well as a pioneer Elvis gigged, moved and sang with many mixed musical tastes (which also shocked America) incorporating many Afro American musical tastes, Blues mainly and blended his unique legacy that has been left us today.

One can only imagine how long Elvis will continue to gain new fans around the world however for now lets not imagine but enjoy the last song I have placed on here or all our enjoyments.
