Meet Elvis impersonator Simon Patrick

Simon Patrick, Elvis impersonator, stormed to victory at Europe's largest Elvis convention, competing against hundreds of the world's best acts. He has been impersonating the King for seven years so he's a seasoned pro.

He made it to the final 20 something of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest but didn't cut it to the final 10.

Simon 33, of Windmill Close, Wellingborough, U.K. has been a life-long fan of the King and currently works in Spain as a rock 'n' roll entertainer.

Patrick has said: "I remember at the age of the four my parents pulling over our car as it was announced on the radio that Elvis had died.

"He was unique and had such charisma. Elvis has had a massive impact on the world of music."

As the link to this site says:

Simon is a soccer and golf pro and in his spare time is a disc jockey. When asked why he likes Elvis so much, he says "For his kindness to others, his love for his mother and family and for being the biggest and best entertainer who ever lived."

I've already met Simon Patrick as he lives in my home town and we are very close almost like brother and sister. I've seen various E.T.A'S and none of them have anything on Simon.
Long live the king!
