Elvis tries again.
Last year the Cambrian Society’s first event of the season was cancelled because it fell in the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth II. Nothing daunted, we’re trying again. At 7.30pm on Friday 15th September Wynne Roberts BEM will be give us his show Elvis “Live” at Earlsdon Park Village Hall.
Wynne works near Bangor, where he is the Chaplain at its regional hospital, Ysbyty Gwynedd.
His Elvis other-life started after a performance at the Porthcawl Elvis Festival – maybe, the largest Elvis Festival in the world. “I went up on stage and sang ‘You Gave Me a Mountain’ and the whole place went ballistic.”
In the last nine years, Wynne and ‘Elvis’ have raised more than £250,000 for charity and, having gained the attention of audiences far and wide, in 2019 he was awarded the British Empire Medal by the Queen for his charitable services.
This will be a ticketed event with tickets, at £7, available from Cambrian Society committee members, or 024 7671 1397.
All the proceeds will go to Wynne’s charity for the night, the British Heart Foundation.
