Don't forget to take your Teddy Bear, Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes
Suspicious Minds here might think you're going there for Burning Love and not a work gig though. They'll be asking Are You Lonesome Tonight, looking for A Big Hunk O Love

Hey Jeepers, here's some info if you have access to fb and a couple of pics. For anyone into Elvis, this isn't a bad event. Local council get involved, local businesses all dress up their shops, street buskers and several live stages. Heard some great impersonator talent.
