Top Elvis performers in tribute to ‘The King’

Johnny Lee Memphis and George Elias will treat audiences to performances of The King’s very best music from three decades – the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Hits such as Suspicious Minds, All Shook Up, Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock will feature during the show at Cowie Miners’ Welfare Social Club on Saturday January 27.
