Malcolm King / Hardrock Cafe, Memphis / Jan 9th

If you are in Memphis for Elvis 75, head along to the Hardrock Cafe on Saturday 9th. I've been invited to perform a 45min set during their Elvis Birthday Bash celebrations and will take to the stage at 9PM.

Looking forward to my first visit to Memphis and to be invited to perform at the Hardrock Cafe is just awesome.

Forever Elvis,

Malcolm

Hi Malc well done mate, i have been in the Hard Rock cafe on Beale St a few times, it is nice in there, & a lovely big stage.

Hardrock was a fantastic venue to perform in. Unfortunately I was suffering a serious chest infection and was advised against even traveling to Memphis. Needless to say I ignored doctors advice and went anyway, well who wouldn't?
I tried my best during the fan club contest, but admit to being well below my best. It was evident I wouldn't be able to perform my full set at the Hardrock Cafe and was delighted that Mike Nova and Cathal Byrne agreed to take to the stage. I managed a few songs at the end of the evening and was delighted with the response. The management of the Hardrock said in all his years he's never seen or heard such quality performances from ETA's, so collectively I think we done Elvis proud. Thanks Mike and Cathal, a big thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far and the biggest thanks to Elvis for all you've given me. . . I'll always be grateful.

well done mate, any of us would have done the same and ignored the Docs advice. Hey at least you can tell the grandchildren that you performed out there and had a great response

I sure will remember it Dean. Graceland was the highlight for me. To get to the memorial garden was a life long dream. I had a note that I'd written to Elvis when I was about eight, and it's now placed there by his side. Im the person I am today because of Elvis and I thank him for being there for me when nobody else was...it's as simple as that.

That's beautiful mate, can see why you choose the songs you do now

Well done Malcolm, did you get interviewed on TV as my friend saw it and she thought it was you.

I was lucky enough to get a few interviews with TV, so she may be right. The only one I've seen so far had me looking rough at 7AM, on the lawn for the Elvis Presley Day Ceremony. It was soooo cold and I think I sounded like Wullie fae the Simpsons, but I had a great time..lol!!
