In pub rooms, on small stages in less fashionable postcodes, Elvis lives. Ian McMillan meets the Elvis impersonators whose genuine love for the King means they put on wigs and jump suits night after night and try to recreate the magic.
There's a Guy Down Our Local Swears He's Elvis
3.30pm R4FM When Radio 4 announces that it's "celebrating Elvis impersonators" it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that a middle-class audience will be encouraged to snigger at working-class men in bulging catsuits who really should know better at their age. Wrong! While there is a bit of humour surrounding their hair (Is it dyed? Surely that's a wig?), this is an insight into the very real passions of a group of men who want to keep Elvis's memory alive.
