World's Greatest Elvis Concert

World's Greatest Elvis Concert: THE sounds and soul of the king of rock 'n' roll will be celebrated as the finalists of the BBC's search to find The World's Greatest Elvis perform together in a unique concert.

The Bath Pavilion, in North Parade Road, Bath, is set to be all shook up when it hosts the show on June 28, and the Weston & Somerset Mercury has eight pairs of tickets (each pair worth £18.50) up for grabs.

Last year Vernon Kaye presented the BBC's hunt to find The World's Greatest Elvis.

Millions of viewers tuned in as the world's elite Elvis tribute artists competed head-to-head in a bid to be crowned the greatest impersonator.

In this unique concert the grand finalists from the show will pay tribute to the magical concert years of the King's career. Beginning with the pure hip-swivelling 1950s early Elvis, then into the thrilling 1968 comeback special and finally finishing with the awesome Vegas years.

Tickets, priced £16.50 plus booking fee, are available from the box office on 01225 330304. (News, Source: The Weston Mercury, UK)

I posted this already under "UK Gigs".... generally anything pertaining to a gig we post there...

Just to draw attention to what Steve Preston has mentioned regarding this concert in another post. EPE/CKX have the copyright to the name "Elvis" and using it can infringe on their legal rights ....so according to Steve's post of the last hour or so, this concert should now be referred to as" The World's Greatest Elvis Tribute Artist Concert" in respect of EPE/CKX's trademarks.

This is a common practice in Canada and the USA....ETA's putting on shows or contest organizers organizing "Ultimate" contests are required to make it clear that the event features Elvis tribute artists..

In many cases there is a "trademark" or "registered" mark typed after the word "Elvis" also, if an ETA is using "Elvis" anywhere.

Doesn't work like that in the UK. Sid Shaw won a landmark case against EPE in the High Court.

Or so I'm told.
