A TRIBUTE TO ELVIS PRESLEY

Fergus has been an Elvis fan since the age of seven. He has been to Memphis to see Gracelands twice, and for the last thirteen years , he has , like hundreds of other people , been to the Elvis Presley holidays in Mabelthorpe , Lincolnshire.

It was on one of these holidays that he won a talent competition.

Julie Munday, the then president of the Official Elvis Presley Fan Club of Great Britain , put his name forward for the hit show "Elvis-The Musical" , and on Christmas Eve two years ago , Fergus recieved a 'phone callfrom the director of the show , wanting him to come along for an audition.

Fergus' dream came true.

He left his job as a postman and appeared as the "middle Elvis" (Army/Film/'68 Special years) in Elvis-The Musical , which went on a 26 week tour of Great Britain and Northern Ireland., at the end of which , the show opened at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's West End.

Fergus received much acclaim for his portrayal of Elvis - the part Shakin' Stevens played and became famous for in 1977

During his time in the show , Fergus appeared on a number of television programmes , including The National Lottery , This Morning , and Afternoon Live , as well as all the regional TV News programmes, radio shows and newspapers where the show was touring.

He has been voted New Rising Star by the Guardian newspaper. Since then, he has also appeared on the Laurence Olivier Awards.

Now Rested from the musical , Fergus is keen to pursue a solo career as an Elvis Tribute Artiste.
