Elvis alive and well in Ponty

Pontypridd’s Forest pub is to hold an Elvis impersonator night this July with the winner, the act voted most like Elvis, will be flown to Memphis for a month’s paid holiday and also cut a record at the original Sun records studio where the king was discovered. The event is to be jointly sponsored by Burgarking and Macdonalds and should help to bring high quality entertainment into Pontypridd. Unconfirmed as of yet but it is highly expected that TV’s Simon Cowell and Shaking Stevens will be judges on the big night.

‘Elvis will live forever,’ said Steve (pictured) of Stevo’s Taxi’s, twice winner of Porthcawl’s annual Elvis festival. ‘I’ve been doing the king since I was three years old and would love to finally visit Graceland. It’s always been a dream of mine.’

Tickets are available from The Forest on Wood Road now and all monies raised will go to charity.

Rock on Pontypridd.

A survey published by RCT’s Quango Department has revealed that the public think 98% of surveys are a waste of both time and money. The survey is to be published in the 2008 RCT’s glossy booklet that no-one bothers to read.
