Elvis - The Ultimate Experience

Saturday 24 January, The Exchange, 7.30pm start.

The Exchange is located in 75 London Rd, Twickenham TW1 1BE (Image supplied)

Having performed in theatres and arenas across the globe, the multi-award winning and direct from ELVIS – THE WORLD TOUR, Ben Thompson brings you the iconic soundtrack of the Elvis years to life, on stage like never before.

For one night, you'll get to experience what it would've been like to witness The King of Rock 'n' Roll live in the flesh. Although no one will ever replace Elvis Presley, Ben (Crowned 2018 World Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Champion of Graceland) has been commended by many who worked with Elvis himself and was even chosen to portray Elvis in the Blockbuster Movie 'Bladerunner 2049'.

Dusk Brothers

Friday 24 January, The Fighting Cocks, 7.30pm.

Dusk Brothers is performing at The Fighting Cocks this Saturday (Image supplied)

Dusk Brothers are bringing their dark, foot-stomping, junkyard blues back to The Fighting Cocks – raw, loud, and right up close.

Expect the full force of their self-built instruments, deep grooves, swamp-soaked riffs and that immersive, shamanic live energy they've become known for.
