"Nothin' but a Hound Dog!"

As all good stories start... once upon a time Vegas Elvis was simply known as Craig, until one night at a Round Table 238 charity event he decided to join glam band `Glitter and Twisted´ on stage. Craig had given the odd Elvis performance previously, after a few too many drinks at parties, and so he asked the band if he could do a couple of Elvis numbers with them.

"Just a quick thank you on behalf of myself, Chris and all that
attended Larraine's suprise 60th on Sunday. You were absolutely
fantastic and made the party a huge success. There wasn't a single
person in the vine not enjoying themselves. I'll definitely be
recommending you to anyone who asks."
Thanks again, Kelly Marsden.

Following this, Vegas Elvis gigged and toured with Glitter and Twisted for about
a year, performing up and down the country. Being in the Elvis zone gave him such a
buzz for entertaining, whether that was for just 30 minutes or a couple of hours. All this
was back in 2003, and his performances are still as fresh as the day he started -
just a little more polished!

"To do this you have to be able to FEEL Elvis - from the little finger on your right
hand to the toes in your left boot!"

Away from the stage, Craig works in the printing industry and lives with his family on the outskirts of Halifax. His daughter, Abbie, is perhaps Vegas Elvis´ biggest fan and she even refers to him as 'Daddy Elvis'.

Vegas Elvis is Craig’s alter ego - his escape from reality - and, as long as he gets the
buzz, he’ll continue to think up different ways to deliver the King’s (and other people’s) music - just as the
man himself did. Vegas Elvis now has a new band, Jump, Jive & Wail and is taking the North of England by
storm. He is well known in the Calderdale area and is being booked further afield.
