Viva Elvis

ELVIS fans like Brimbank’s Gerry Fabbro (pictured) will be all shook up when Sunshine hosts a massive tribute to the King later this month with the Melbourne Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest.

The only heartbreak likely at the Westend Market Hotel will be if people miss out on the show.

The officially sanctioned event features Australia’s top Elvis tribute artists in four separate concerts over two days.

They will compete for a $3500 first prize and a spot at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest in Memphis, Tennessee, in August.

The Sunshine event includes an exhibition of an extensive collection of items once owned by Elvis.

Weekend passes for the April 28-29 event can be bought by calling 0417561272, emailing epkingtcb@yahoo.com or at the venue on the day.
