    I'm back. Meant to say this t'onther day. Came back from malaga and called in at tessers and there he was. He can't help himself he does the shoulder shrug constantly. He may have been a bit unnerved as I followed him about.

    The mrs complained I tell people more about black Elvis than out romantic trip to malaga. Priorities luv priorities

    He does not need to grow a moustache to prove anything.

    I'm guessing he's a Pagan Man too.

    You lucky bastards.

    That said, our local Indian Buffet Restaurant has its own "Pakistani Elvis" and in all honesty, he's very good too. He doesn't have quite the same magnetism as Bobby mind.

    I wonder why so many Elvis impersonators are so good? Anyone ever seen a bad one?

    Chuffed to bits I finally got to see the man on stage, doing what comes naturally to him. And it was a genuine pleasure that he gave some of his time to have a chat with little old me. A real nice bloke he is.

    If you ever have honour, ask him about the time he was in Memphis and his mate bought a ring. He does accents and everything.

    Random Bobby fact...

    The three artists he most admires are Elvis, Roy Orbison and Freddie Mercury.

    You could be on the money with Pagan Man.

    You can be sure he doesn't wear any aftershaves that were formulated in the last 35 years.

    Tabac is probably the least manly scent he wears.

    As much as I love Bobby, and I do love him, he's an amateur compared to this bloke.

    I swear to God, that, right there, is Elvis reincarnated, and I'll fight any ****er that disagrees!

    We need him in the clubhouse at Burton Constable, what's he charge like?

    Not as much as Danny Wilde.

    I reckon you'd get him for fifty knicker, ask HHH he's almost his agent.

    I could get you a price.

    But you have to take into account that Bobby doesn't put on any old bog standard set.

    Now most entertainers will give you three half hour sets and that's just how Bobby started out. But then he thought to himself why can't I do two half hour sets and then finish with a...wait for it...45 minute set. That's exactly what you'll be getting. A whole 15 minutes more than you get from anybody else. Not to mention a possible two song encore.

    Plus he gives you a costume change for each set, complete with the most luxuriant belts you'll ever see. Belts like that don't grow on trees. They cost.

    What I will say is, if it's a private do complete with buffet then he does love a rich chocolate mousse.

    Bobbys a great bloke and a great entertainer, gives 100% whether there 400 or 4 people watching him. I hired him once for a private, it was an out side do, we haggled the price for three half hour spots, we couldnt get the ****er off he was still singing at half one in the morning. I do a bit of part time DJ/Karaoke and its always great to bump into Bobby at various venues. After his last set, he usually goes round and personaly shakes everyones hand etc.

    That is a little bit freaky.

    To be 15 and sound that much like Les Gray is weird.

    I bet young Master Thibault has never even heard of Mud.
