Richard Carroll - Echoes of the King
Based in Lochgelly, Fife, Scotland.
I hold current certification for public liability insurance and equipment electrical PAT testing, certificates can be forwarded upon request.
Required at venue: suitable parking facilities to transfer equipment to venue safely, also a place to change into costume (preferably secured).
Currently backing track solo performance only: I can be completely flexible for song choices for your event and happy to create a bespoke set of songs of your preference. However I do have pre-prepared sets that I have personally put together to be suitable to recreate an "Elvis Concert" feel, or if you'd prefer I have also preset for a more "party" environment and song choices accordingly. I have regularly been asked to perform first set Elvis and second variety performance, this also works very well for non-Elvis events.
I feel I have a good vocal ability, and focus strongly in this while maintaining the presence of Elvis. I encourage audience participation for a more enjoyable time. My job is to ensure your audience is kept happy with popular Elvis songs and a fun atmosphere. Above all I am myself and have always been an Elvis fan and do NOT consider myself to be a copy of Elvis, but a tribute only and I don’t take myself too seriously.
Costumes: I currently have a small selection for you to choose from. The "Pin-wheel", "Concho" (Vegas) & the more famous "Aloha" jumpsuits are at my disposal. For more formal occasions such as weddings you may like for me to serenade the bride down the Isle in the Dream Suit "If I can dream" suit. Also suitable for gospel events & churches etc. Additionally, I have more casual Elvis outfits such as the "Rehersal" outfit and other pleated trousers with accompanying shirts/belts for pre/post gig activity or photo-shoots.
