THE ELVIS Years will be performed at the King’s Hall, Ilkley, on June 14 as part of a national tour.

The Presley tribute show is currently in its 10th year and arrives in Ilkley 65 years after the young Elvis walked into the office of Sun Records with a guitar and a dream.

The Elvis Years is a concert production telling the story of Elvis through the years.

It features Mario Kombou, the original lead of Jailhouse Rock in the West End, and his band.

With a world-class cast, authentic costumes and rare film footage, The Elvis Years features more than 50 of the King’s greatest hits including ‘Hound Dog’, ‘It’s Now or Never’, ‘Suspicious Minds’ and ‘American Trilogy’.

There are also lesser-known tracks such as ‘Rock A Hula Baby’ and ‘Bossa Nova Baby’.

Actor and singer Mario has been performing as Elvis for over 20 years.

He said: “There is something about Elvis and his music that speaks to people.

“His music is too special to let fade into history, and seeing the audience light up night after night is such an incredible experience.

“There is a reason this show sells out in some of the best venues in the country, and that is because the King of Rock n’ Roll is as important now as he ever was.”

Australian born show producer and musical director, David Mackay, has produced major hits for some of the biggest names in music including Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler, Frankie Miller, Billy Ocean, Dusty Springfield, The Bee Gees and Eric Clapton.

Mario has been performing as Elvis for over twenty years and also trained as an actor, starring in film, television and theatre productions around the world. Mario starred in the hit London West End musical production of Jailhouse Rock in the role of Elvis Presley’s character Vince Everett which had a successful run at the Piccadilly Theatre.

He has performed live to millions of people on various television and radio shows such as Top Of The Pops and GMTV and was asked to sing the National Anthem at Twickenham Rugby Stadium to an audience of 50,000 people.

Mario won the Images of The King competition in 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee and is the only tribute artist in the world to have been officially endorsed by Donna Presley (Elvis’ first cousin). Mario is also endorsed by Elvis Presley Enterprises.
