ALVIN STARDUST

sings ELVIS & BUDDY

This 2 hour show features Alvin Stardust and his band (which is made up of some of the UK 's best authentic rock'n'roll musicians) playing music of the King of Rock'n'Roll ELVIS PRESLEY and the legendary BUDDY HOLLY. The pure energy and enjoyment that is evident on stage soon washes over the audience with many getting up to dance and jive in the aisles.

" Alvin rocks like a young Elvis Presley, ...if you like rock'n'roll, you will love this show."
