Yeah I ain't one for contests mate but he seems to know what he's doing. He wants it to be about Elvis & the eta's & not about making stacks of money. He has done his best to keep costs as low as possible but doesn't seem to have scrimped on the venue etc which is good news.
He has provisionally booked me to do a guest spot along with a very well known US eta as mentioned earlier.

Just looked at the Olympia website & there is a show on the 20 Feb called 'Elvis-An American History' doesn't say who is doing the Elvis's though scratch

£2oo to enter all 3 comps and buy tickets with a partner, more if you chose the vip seating option, on top of that there is accommodation, meals and drinks, that's 1 hell of an outlay for an unproven comp. What is the history of the guy running it, website looks very amateurish too. Not having a dig, but it's a similar cost to enter Blackpool which is a proven and more professional event offering better prizes and the title of European champion.

Thanks Daz I saw the prices on the site, do you have any info on the guy running it, I can't find anything online

He is an eta & has a show invloving him & two other eta's called the Elvis road show. I have spoke with him on the phone a few times now & he comes across quite sincere & seems to have his head screwed on. He just felt that a convention/contest was needed in that part of the uk. That's all I can tell ya. I know this event has no reputation & he may not be as well known to us as we'd like but I guess everything has to start somewhere just as the Blackpool comp had to. I just posted it up for those who maybe interested in it.
