Make your function unique with a lively and audience interactive tribute to Elvis Presley! Featuring many of The King's hits the show has been taken to holiday parks, hotels, festivals and golf clubs as well as on a cruise. James has also been booked for many different types of private event from birthdays and anniversaries to weddings. To fit in with your schedule, shows can be one hour long or two sets of 45 minutes. To make it personal you can even customise your show by choosing from James' extensive Elvis repertoire because, when certain songs mean something to you, it can really add to the occasion! Of course James can also put together a suitable playlist of upbeat songs to get the guests dancing, while also including some of Elvis' ballads for slower dances. James uses the best backing tracks on the market and even appears as a backing vocalist on some alongside Elvis' actual stage musicians with whom he worked in Canada while recording the music. To give the show it's sound James uses two high-end H&K Big Base speakers, and to give it it's look James wears top of the range costumes made by B&K Enterprises in America - the best in the business.
WELL, WELL, WELL, WHAT A BIRTHDAY!
We had James come around for my Nan’s 76th - she is a HUGE Elvis fan. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. The show, from start to end, was professional, engaging, uniquely choreographed and brilliantly personalised. James made her day special; it was probably the best birthday she has ever had. I would recommend James to anyone looking for a professional, personalised performance no matter the audience size! Thank you, James, for your incredible talent:) - Chyna & Family:)
James performed at my son’s wedding and he was a hit. The guests were throughly entertained thoroughly the evening. I would highly recommend James and would definitely book him again.
James was fantastic right from the start of the booking process through to the event itself. Really responsive to messages and very clear on what was needed our end. At the event he went out of his way arriving early to set up with the equipment provided and then his performance was incredible. We were hosting a charity event with mixed backgrounds and age groups to entertain and he won them all over. We had so many positive comments about the night and everyone mentioned James in particular. His enthusiasm, energy and performance were all top level.
As the organiser I would recommend him as a very professional and nice chap to deal with. As a guest his performance was fantastic.
Seen a lot of tribute Elvis’s and James smashed it Absolutely brilliantly. We are super fans and would recommend him highly
James gave a brilliant performance and Colin had a lovely surprise. A keen Elvis fan all his life He was not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed a great night. James was easy to talk to and confirm arrangements beforehand with no worries. A true professional. Many thanks Colin & Sarah-Jane
What a great night. James was brilliant. From the word go everybody was jumping he was. So good would highly recommend. Thanks again James Chris and Colin
James ( Elvis ) was absolutely brilliant

We found James to be very professional and he exceeded our expectations. His performance and singing was fantastic. James definitely made our event even more special and we would highly recommend him!
Absolutely brilliant, what a lovely guy all the family loved him and his performance definatley would recommend 5* GREAT
We had the pleasure of James at our Mums surprise 60th birthday party. Right from the start the professionalism shown was outstanding. Always replied to messages and queries and was there to put our minds at ease. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. His actual act was spot on, his voice is one of the best I’ve heard and it was obvious he’s studied and perfected his craft. He entertained the crowd and interacted with everyone making everyone’s night special. He serenaded the birthday girl which she loved. Nothing but praise for this Elvis and I would 100% book him again and again. Thanks so much James for making out mums birthday one she’ll never forget and one that everyone who attended is still taking about. X
As this is the first time I have ever done this and the experience was brilliant james to me and all my family and friends could not believe how brilliant he was and how he put life into my brother in law wedding party I like to thank him so much and also poptop UK for there professionally way the booking was done.
On time, takes his work seriously, performs brilliantly, everyone loved him, fantastic value for money. Would highly recommend
Fantastic performance. Everyone commented on how good James was. It really added to our function having James there and I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Absolutely fantastic! James looks and sounds amazing and he is a great showman, really got the crowd going. Would happily have him back again.
"FANTASTIC. James was so accommodating I chose all my own songs James also learnt a new song that was me and my husbands favourite. I feel like I let James down and maybe I should have given him more control over his set.
Good value for money my friends loved him and wanted his details .
Compared to your other Elvises James is by far the best sounding Elvis also his movements.
He loves his entertaining and this clearly shows . He made me feel special on my big day.
I didn’t realise James lived so far away so to make the journey for just one hours work . Good value for money .
Would I use James again? Most definitely. In fact I’ve already told him I will see him at my 70 th Birthday Party God willing .
Well done James and thank you so much .
Cathy Gamble"
"Hi
Although James was late starting for some reason and maybe the lavatorial crack about having trouble with his suit was a bit early in the evening, the singing was good and lots of people had a good dance."
James was absolutely brilliant! Will be sure to book him again for next year. A really great performance, thank you Elvis!
Excellent very accommodating excellent act very professional would recommend this act very nice person
"James was absolutely brilliant. Wonderful interaction with the audience throughout with a nice bit of banter!!
I have had nothing but rave reviews form those who watched and his voice and the sound were spot on. Already been asked if he is coming back next year!!"
James gave a fantastic five star performance and had everyone dancing. Couldn’t have got a better show in Las Vegas. Thanks James
"(I'm assuming 5 is the highest quality mark you can give)
James was outstanding. I don't give 5's very often but on this occasion it warrant's it to the point my guests were convinced he was miming to Elvis records which he definitely was not. I asked for some dedications and for some other special requests which he accommodated for me and made the evening much more than I could ever have expected. He was punctual, the stage was set up on time and the sound equipment all worked very well. A very special evening which I am hoping will become an annual event."
We had such a great, happy and successful evening in Arundel, for my husbands 70th Birthday. A very big part of the whole evening was the entrance made by Elvis and was a complete surprise for all our guests. James made everything so easy for us and was amazingly good, so much so that we paid him extra to stay for longer! A great performer.
Fantastic night with Elvis and lovely music we all had fantastic time thanks Elvis x
"James was great... we booked him for our 36th anniversary.
i ask him to sing... How the Web Was Woven, my wife & i love this song...What a singer if you need a elvis act this guy is the one..Thanks james you have a truly great talent......"
Janes was fantastic, he certainly bought the party alive and got everyone up dancing. My husband and our guest loved every second.
I booked James to perform at my 50th birthday party in Bristol this weekend and he was amazing. Everyone loved the show, we had a fabulous night and I would highly recommend James to anyone. He is a great performer, truly talented and I would book him again in a heartbeat.
Elvis was excellent. We had a great nights entertainment for our 70th birthday bash everyone was well impressed with James Burrell as Elvis
Unfortunately Elivs had to cancel at last Minute due to an accident
Elvis Presley Tribute
Being asked to sing on board two cruise ships, one run by Pullmantur and one by Norwegian Cruiselines. I have been invited to sing in Memphis as part of Elvis week 2020. Securing a residency at an excellent music venue in Plymouth, having my Elvis Tribute show broadcast live on community radio, and enjoying many repeat bookings at venues around the UK.
Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, themed celebrations, corporate events, festivals, carnivals and public appearances at live music venues.
These include (but are not limited to): Blackpool Winter Gardens NCL (Cruise Line) Pullmantur (Cruise Line) The Kitley House Hotel, Devon. The Walrus in Plymouth. The Babbacombe Inn, Torquay. Bradley Stoke Carnival. The Devon and Cornwall Inn. Honicombe Manor, Callington. The Dawlish Legion. Bodmin Jail. The City Inn, Truro. The Prince of Wales Hotel, Southport. The Bristol and Clifton Golf Club. Buckland Athletic FC.
One hour or two 45 minute sets.
Yes. I use two HK Big Base systems and a Touchmix 16 mixing desk. I also have lighting.
Yes, both.
Minimum would be approximately 8 feet across and 6 foot deep. Two plug sockets by the performance area. Ground floor performances only, unless accessed by an elevator.
Most of the popular Elvis tracks are available on my website, as well as less often heard ones. There are some companies that produce rarer and less known Elvis songs; if the one you request is available in QUALITY backing track form, then I shall make every effort to trace it. At least a week's notice is required.
During my hour long show, no break is taken. When I do two 45 minute sets, one break is taken. If no set break length is requested, then by default it's between 15 and 20 minutes. This can be shortened or lengthened on request, but should not exceed 45 minutes. All I request is a clean and private place in which to get changed and take my break (no gents toilets or storerooms/cupboards, muddy sports changing rooms etc).
I'm afraid this is not possible unless I instigate it.
I bring all the Elvis songs I perform with me on an IPad. If a specific playlist has been requested by a client, then their song choices will always take priority. When there is no customised set list, I prepare a generic one which can be altered for requests. Provided there is time (and I have it), I will try and fit it in on the day.
Indeed! If at a suitable time during the show you wish me to extend birthday wishes, make a presentation (flowers or cake etc), then that can be arranged with you upon confirmation of the booking.
One hour set or 2 x 45 min as Elvis.
