Recent comments on Tribute Act
Thank you Andy for your Elvis Tribute Act at our wedding. It was a real highlight for us that our guests talk about which made our wedding celebrations a truly memorable experience. Your act was the perfect interlude whilst the band took a break keeping the dance floor filled and the party rocking! You were professional and thoughtful throughout and it was a pleasure to have Elvis " in the building!"

A great time was enjoyed by all the family and friends when we celebrated our silver wedding anniversary at the famous Red Lion Inn in Mawnan Smith in Cornwall. The evening's highlight was your Elvis Tribute Act . It was as if Elvis himself was singing! Tumultuous applause at the end showed how much you were appreciated.
***** Ruth Martin. The Red Lion Inn
Thank you so much for a night to remember for my 40th birthday party! You were a true professional and we enjoyed it so much. We have had many guests comment on what a fantastic act you are and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to all our friends. It showed how much you were appreciated when our live band asked you to join them for their first song after you had finished....Burning love. Wow!

We just had to write and express our gratitude for your Elvis Gospel Tribute Act. It was so memorable and life-changing for some! We attracted many more people than we expected which put a little strain on our catering but it was a good problem to have! There were so many comments about your act being one of the best ever seen with the sheer quality of the performance and inspired selection of Elvis's popular and gospel songs along with the power of your personal story. People reported so many meaningful conversations with those they had invited and many hearts were touched to such an extent that some came on the Sunday morning! There was such joy around that we can't wait to invite you again! Without doubt anyone who books you will have a night to remember!

I had the pleasure of attending an event where Andy was Elvis Presley. In one word....Brilliant!!!

Andy ( or was it really Elvis? ) went down a storm at Badsey. Everyone had a great evening and the audience was enthralled by his songs and his story.
***** David Wood. Organiser
What a great night we had at Badsey! You got everyone clapping, dancing and thoroughly enjoying themselves and several people went home with a different perspective on life.
***** Mick Hutchings
We had a briliant evening, fantastic value for money and a well-balanced programme of Elvis songs. People were dancing and singing and thoroughly enjoying themselves in a really relaxed atmosphere. Andy's personal story was very moving and really touched some who were there, and those who have since read his book have said they couldn't stop until they finished it! I would thoroughly recommend him.

My husband and I absolutely loved our night at St Andrews. What amazes us is that in providing a performance you do it with such grace and humility. I started looking up Elvis songs on the net but I much prefer Rev Elvis! It would be great if you get to record your songs.

Thanks Andy! I thought your performance at Chipping Campden was absolutely superb. Will keep singing your praises!
***** David Wood
I have to say that I'm not a great lover of Tribute bands so was reluctantly encouraged to go to an Elvis evening at Chipping Campden. During the performance my prejudices took quite a hammering! The music was great, dancing was lively, applause was very enthusiastic, and the singing was terrific, very professional!

Andy was on BBC Radio doing a half-hour Elvis Gospel Service singing 5 Gospel songs and talking about Elvis. It was hugely popular and many people rang in to ask for copies. Following that event Andy was asked back to the studio on the anniversary of Elvis' death to sing some of his classics and talk about his life.
On Sunday morning everyone was abuzz with how good a night you gave us. The evening was a sellout, the songs had everyone clapping for they were sung with power and passion and your story touched many people. Our visitors book has glowing accounts of an exciting, thought-provoking and wonderful night.So many people who came would never normally darken the doors of a church!

Andy says of the above event: " At the end of the evening a man came up to me and said that he hadn't been looking forward to it as he'd been dragged along! He was determined not to enjoy it and sat with his arms folded! But as the night progressed he began to enjoy it and by the end he was so pleased that he'd come! He even bought a book!
This comment just thrills me because it's what the Gospel Tribute Act is all about. There are so many people who are put off church and religion but if a church will just host an evening like this and invite family and friends then the evening will definitely touch hearts."
Andy, your Tribute show at Kempsey,Worcester, was a spectacular success, not only providing first-class renditions of so many of Elvis's hit songs, but also causing many in the audience to revise their opinions about Christianity, which so many people associate with dull and musty church services. During the course of the evening a lot of people asked for information about us, Grace Community Church, who had organised the event. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable show and especially for your personal story and the beautiful gospel songs that Elvis loved so dearly. We could have sold the tickets twice over so are looking forward to a return visit!

ELVIS A HIT FOR THE CHURCH
Andy Kelso's Elvis Presley Tribute Show at Kempsey proved a resounding success. The Vicar turned Tribute artist gave a first-class rendition of many hits, as well as the gospel songs which Elvis loved so much. Andy also gave a testimony of his personal journey as a Christian and several people expressed an interest in Grace Church who organised the event and who are likely to arrange another visit.

Thank you for a moving and fun evening. With nearly 100 people packing the venue there were those who hadn't been in church for years and your songs and story were powerful. Many said they would come again!

Professional, entertaining, moving and thought-provoking are just a few of the words I would use to describe Andy's visit to us. The music was fantastic and Andy had everyone singing their hearts out. The cricket club was packed and I would not hesitate to have Andy back again.
