Niall is a 34 year old lifelong fan of Elvis Presley. Much of his spare time is spent listening to Elvis and studying his life. He loves all of Elvis' singing era's, spanning the raw early years of the 50's, the great movie songs, the classic comeback special and the lavish Las Vegas performances. Every Elvis fan's dream must be to visit the home of Elvis ~ Graceland. Niall has had the opportunity to do this twice, the most recent visit being last year, May 2007. The experience of literally being inside the home where Elvis once lived is one of the most treasured and spine tingling memories of Niall's life. While in Memphis, Niall watched and listened to a number of Elvis Tribute Acts, and it was then that he realised he wanted to sing and perform his own tribute to Elvis! This gave Niall the motivation and determination he needed. Niall was now on a mission! Niall began by visiting Dave Horrigan, a close family friend and veteran singer himself. Niall remembers this initial first 'singing audition' with Dave as nerve racking and terrifying! Niall need not have been worried as Dave simply said "You've Got It"! In July 2007, Niall's dream became a reality and he turned professional. He has since invested in genuine authentic costumes, made by BK Enterprise, a top of the range sound system and stage lighting. His Elvis wardrobe and gold bling is slowly growing as are his burners! In January 2008, Niall entered the European Elvis Championships, in Blackpool, and gained a wealth of experience as well as having a fantastic time! Niall is currently performing and working his way through the local club circuit as well as generously devoting many of his gigs to local charities and fundraising events. His reputation is building across the area as he blows audiences away with his fantastic voice and performances. As you can imagine, Niall lives an extremely busy life! Along with his Elvis performances, he works full time at Corus Steel Industry in Redcar. His Wife Sallie and Children are all keen Elvis fans. Niall's youngest 3 children have some part of Elvis in their name - Eve Grace (after Graceland), Theo Presley and the newest (+ last) addition is Jude Elvis. Niall's older stepchildren, Jake and Millie, are also big fans. |
