THE legacy of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll will be kept alive with a live performance in Llandudno on October 9.

Ahead of the release of the highly-anticipated Baz Luhrmann film ‘Elvis’, The Elvis Years - The Story of The King is a concert not to be missed.

Recreating the story of the legendary Elvis for more than 15 years, the show features the original lead of Jailhouse Rock in the West End, Mario Kombou, along with his band.

The final piece of this production is the award-winning producer and musical director David Mackay – who has masterminded hits for artists including Cliff Richard, Bonnie Tyler and Billy Ocean.

Mario, who has been performing as Elvis for more than 20 years, explained: “There is something about Elvis and his music that speaks to people – he was the King.

“The brand-new Elvis Presley biopic is not only bringing to life the most iconic musical legend, but inspiring a new legion of fans too.

“His music is too special to let fade into history, and seeing the audience light up every night is an incredible experience.”

With a world class cast, authentic costumes and rare film footage, The Elvis Years features more than 50 of the King’s greatest hits including ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, ‘It’s Now or Never’, ‘Suspicious Minds’ and ‘American Trilogy’, as well as lesser-known tracks such as ‘Rock A Hula Baby’.

Mario added: “There is a reason this show sells out in some of the best venues in the country, and that is because the King of Rock n’ Roll is as important now as he ever was.”
