| POPULAR Elvis impersonator Derek Russell is giving a concert in aid of a charity especially close to his heart.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance transported Mr Russell to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge after he suffered a near-fatal head injury a year ago.
HGV driver Mr Russell, of Magdalen, wants to show his appreciation by donating the proceeds of his next Elvis "spectacular" to the air ambulance service.
In March last year, Mr Russell plunged 15 feet from the back of a lorry. He was taken to Lynn's Queen Elizabeth Hospital from where his emergency airlift to the Cambridge hospital took only 19 minutes.
His wife, Christine, said: "He needed the air ambulance and now he has recovered he wants to raise money for it."
The concert will take place at Searles in Hunstanton on the Norfolk Coast, UK on Sunday (March 9). Doors open at 5pm.
The support acts will be singer Alex Mills and a comedy act, Winston The Singing Farmer.
The £9 tickets are available from Mrs Russell, 01553 810771. | |
