John Elvis Collins

The act

The suits come from the USA, made by the same costume designer who dressed Elvis himself. John Elvis Collins has portrayed the King for more than 20 years, and the show runs on audience involvement: he works the room on a cordless mic from the moment Elvis enters the building. Expect Suspicious Minds, Burning Love, Viva Las Vegas and the favourites, with requests where possible. It scales from a solo spot to a Vegas style production with a showband of up to 10 players and Vegas dancers, and he can bring tribute friends along, from Marilyn and Roy Orbison to the Blues Brothers and Johnny Cash. He's also a civil marriage celebrant, so a genuine Elvis wedding is on the table. Christmas shows run in July and December.

Good to know

What to expect

The show starts the moment Elvis enters the building, and from there it's interactive: John works the room, and everybody ends up involved whether they planned to or not. Over 20 years of doing this means he plays the favourites and takes requests where he can. The suits are the real thing, made in the USA by the same costume designer who dressed Elvis. If you want more than one era on the bill he can bring in his Vegas dancers, or arrange other tribute acts for the night, from ABBA and The Blues Brothers to Tom Jones, Patsy, Dusty, Dolly and Buddy. Christmas shows run in July as well as December.

On the day

He can plug an iPad into your existing sound system, perform with your band, or bring his own show band of up to 10 players. He'll also bring a cordless microphone, because walking out through the audience is half the act. If you haven't got sound at the venue, he can arrange it.

Set List

A typical night opens with 2001 into That's All Right Mama and closes on Elvis Has Left The Building. In between you'll get I Got A Woman, Burning Love, Rubberneckin', The Wonder Of You, Love Me and Hound Dog. Then Suspicious Minds. She Wears My Ring, Beach Boy Blues and Rock-A-Hula Baby sit in there too, along with Slicin' Sand, C'mon Everybody, Proud Mary, Viva Las Vegas and Johnny B. Goode.

Performance options

Anything from a single spot to a full Vegas style production. He'll design the show around your event rather than hand you a fixed running order.

Insurance and paperwork

Public liability insured.
