Darren H and Doug Church review.

His set was on for approx 42 minutes & he did more than 8 songs, We were on a tight time schedule with the theatre & had to be out by 11pm. Don't believe ALL u are told as I very much doubt people were sitting there timing him with their watches . .

i heard that from several different people so i thought there might be something to it.42 minutes in my opinion is still abit short

yes David 42 mins is a little short I agree but as I said we were on a tight time schedule, even I had to alter my sets to accomodate the times of the theatre, we intially thought we had until 11.30pm to be out by but it was 11pm we had to do it by. Doug's set was originally approx 50 mins & I was suppose to do 3 x 25 mins but I only did 2 x 30 mins sets. Nothing we could do about it, couldn't start any earlier as doors didn't open until just after 7pm. Doug certainly made up for it at the after show party though,

yes i heard about the after show and ive seen videos im not denying it looked good im also not that bothered how the show worked out i was just passing on something id heard....i very much doubt you check things with people when u hear them...realistically who does that

Most of Elvis' shows were around the 40 minute mark.

It was the theatre that didn't allow the show to go on any longer than it did and im sure Doug would have wanted to stay on longer.

Just would like to say that i met Doug and he really is a friendly modest guy and he was talked into singing at the aftershow party, which he happily did.

Im sure he would have just as happy just staying in the background.

He really came over as just a regular guy.
Nothing flash about him at all.

It was also the first time i met Darren and even though there was alot of people there like members of his family and others he known longer, he took time out to chat with me for awhile.

Just a really good night.

ok guy's just to let all know this topic is being monitored and as a result of this certain comments have been edited out so please refrain from anymore sarcasm

That's right Sean, we crammed in as much as we could in the time frame. Doug really is just a down to earth guy but who has an amazing talent, I never tire watching him perform on stage. He is not one for being centre of attention after a show but as he was happy to take part in the karaoke style theme & took time out to chat with all who was there.
It really was a pleasure meeting & chatting with you mate, didn't expect u to be a guiness drinker though

Ive had some pretty heavy sessions in the past, mainly due to lager and as ive got older ive learnt my lesson to slow down.

These days i hardly drink but when i do its the odd pint of guinness, no more than 3 does me which is what i had that night.

I have to say...for what its worth-i came here to look at the review sean had done about the show-ive not been to an ETA show in years and Darren seems like a good entertainer.
I did enjoy reading ur review Sean...and im glad you had a good time. xx

Thanks Sophie

I never knew Elvis's shows lasted only 40 mins...i guess i thought they went on for a couple of hours. or wishfull thinking on my part perhaps:)
certainly if Darren n Doug came up here id make an effort to go and see them...not seen an Elvis show for about 4 years, i miss them...no one to go with tbh.

Hi Sophie, the whole show with Doug & myself should have been about 2 hours but we had to cut back a bit due to time restrictions so it ended up lasting approx 1hr & 50 mins so not far off 2 hours I guess. Where are u from Sophie? Will try & look into some possible venues near u for the future Would be great to meet ya!
