Chris Connor is the new Elvis Presley artiste for the official Legends in concert show here in the U.K. 

Elite Tributes are proud to announce that Chris Connor has been chosen as the new Elvis Presley artiste for Trevor Chance's Legends in concert tribute show. Chris will be perfoming over 60 nights at Blackpool Central Pier throughout the 2011 summer season. The deal will also see Chris perfom in Legends worldwide and also on the prestigous corporate scene in the UK and abroad.

Legends has toured the UK many times, New Zealand twice, played Barcelona, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, The Seychelles, Ireland, Dubai... the list goes on. With a home in Blackpool in their own purpose built venue, the concerts have worked 19 weeks a year for the last ten years,

Only two years after first entering the European ETA championships at Blackpool, the incredible rise of Chris Connor as a virtual unknown to one of the most recognised names in the Elvis tribute world continues. Chris'  performance thrilled fans present on the night, who inturn brought him to the attention of ourselves at Elite Tributes. The rest as they say is history. Chris Connor became one of the most sought after ETA's in the world and the news today is another major stepping stone in the meteoric rise of his career. Now Chris will feature heavily in the Legend's campaign and headline on the Central Pier, Blackpool.


As always Chris and Elite Tributes would like to thank his fans for their tremendous support.

The meteoric rise of Chris Connor ETA continues with him starring in The best Elvis show in the world . . EVER! With his incredible likeness, moves and voice Chris is the perfect choice to portray Elvis Presley on stage. A show originally toured by SJM CONCERTS Britain's biggest promotions company 1997 - 2000 and starred Steve Preston. Now with Steve as technical advisor the show is back , complete with flashing Elvis set and hand picked session musicians. The show is a complete recreation of Elvis in Concert, presented for the modern day Elvis fan but without losing any of the 1970's originality.

CHRIS CONNOR - HYDE PARK CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT
 
Elite Tributes have been in talks with the BBC over the last few weeks after they approached us with a view to Chris Connor appearing in the Hyde Park, Elvis Anniversary Concert for BBC Radio 2.  After positive feedback from an EPE representative in the USA, the producer asked us to put aside two days for rehearsals and had chosen three songs for Chris to perform.
 
This week however Elvis Presley Enterprises (who over the last few years have accepted more and more the part that the top ETA's can play in the legacy of Elvis Presley) decided on this occasion they would stick to the original format which did not include any Elvis tribute artist. Elite Tributes totally understand and respect their decision although it goes without saying it is a huge dissapointment for Chris and his fans not forgetting the BBC. To be even considered for such a prestigeous event is testomony to the progress Chris has made as an ETA over the last 18 months.
 
Looking ahead at the bigger picture, especially with Ambassador Enterprises, Inc., agreeing last week to represent Chris Connor in the United States and Canada, I am more confident than ever that these kind of opportunities will continue to present themselves to an ETA from the United Kingdom who is quite litterally taking the Elvis tribute world by storm. I would like to close by saying a big thank you for the fans for their continuing support.

After the tremendous concert at Richmond on Saturday night a member of the audience just so happened to work for Yorkshire BBC television. Now they have asked if Chris would appear in the next few weeks on BBC Look North. She was apparently knocked out by his performance and would like the programme to do a feature on him.

Michael Jackson fans were treated to a brilliant concert at the sell out show at the Elgarve theatre in Buckinghamshire on Thursday night. The brilliant Nick Hayne who featured in the Michael Jackson experience, was simply sensational. Watch this space for future gigs from this excellent artist.
