About Us

About Elvis.co.uk

Elvis.co.uk is a website entirely for Elvis Presley fans. Our philosophy is to provide an engaging online community for Elvis fans and to promote Elvis Presley in a manner that advances his public presence and maintains Elvis Presley’s integrity as a leading artist Elvis.co.uk has been around since 1996, when the internet was just a baby.

 

Over the years we’ve organised and promoted many Elvis events, including:

 

  • Party in the Park: At Pride Park Football Stadium, with special guest Elvis bodyguard Sonny West.
  • Elvis Cruise UK: Onboard the Independence of the Seas in her inagural season.
  • TCB Elvis Cruises: Several European cruises, with guests that have included Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ girlfriend of Linda Thompson and members of Elvis’ TCB Band.
  • VIP Memphis: Specialist tours to Memphis and Bad Nauheim
  • Arena Travel: Specialist tours to Bad Nauheim and an Elvis Cruise with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines to Memphis Mansion in Randers.
Elvis.co.uk are proud supporters of Memphis Mansion in Randers. In the last few years, work commitments have meant that the site was offline for a while as we could not give it the attention it – and Elvis – deserved. So we have recently started to rebuild it as a source of information on Elvis for new and existing fans.
