The first Time I saw "Elvis" in the imperial, I though he was dreadful, till I realised thats his act. Hes a great entertainer and a friendly bloke. I was in Brismarine last friday when he was singing, and heard a family of Hoorays commenting on him. They really should get out more, one actually said "He makes me sick, I wish he would just go back to his council estate. I made doubly sure I got him to give them a wave and a song when I went to watch him.
As for Simbads, Ive nevcer had a bad mea there, Maria is always friendly. Maybe its cos Im a geordie and she went to Uni in Newcastle and was treated well by strangers when she was alone in a strange country, but I cant fault her or Simbads.
