| THE ELVIS COLLECTION |
|
In November 2004 I was recommended by one of my college lecturers to an Elvis tribute
band who are currently touring the U.K. They asked me if I would like to go on tour with them until the end of December, the
following year I was asked to carry on playing and I have been touring with them ever since. I particularly
enjoy this band as I love Elvis' music, it is playing large theatres and venues all around the U.K. and
the sound of a 10-piece band is fantastic. It is run by Billy Mcgregor (Elvis) and Alan Wearmouth(guitarist,
MD) pictured below. I have included on this page a description of the band from a newspaper review, if you would like to
see The Elvis Collection myspace click on any of the pictures.
 Billy J.McGregor and his amazing 10 piece band under the musical direction of Alan Wearmouth pay
tribute to the worlds greatest Rock and Roll star.
Over two hours of The Kings best known recordings are performed
live on stage during a breathtaking rollercoaster ride of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
The ELVIS Collection invites you to
rejoice with them in an unforgettable celebration guaranteed to bring you a night to remember.
Watch and enjoy as Billy J. along with his handpicked collection which include some of the finest
musicians and vocalists in the business pour heart and soul into their tribute.
Listen to songs like Jailhouse Rock,
American Trilogy, Suspicious Minds, Johnny B. Goode , Devil in Disguise , Hound Dog and lots more sung with passion and attention
to detail.
Says Billy With The ELVIS Collection we take the legend of The King back
to what really counts The Music.
Elvis was such a charismatic guy too many Presley tribute shows rely on jokey impersonations
that completely miss the point.
We don`t do that! Every one of our shows is a party that plays some of the greatest music
ever made. Our show is over two hours long and we perform over thirty of Elvis`s recordings.
