Dave James from West Cornwall didn’t discover Elvis until the mid-80s, originally working as a mobile DJ. It was requests for Jailhouse Rock that first sparked his fascination with The King, leading him to explore the full depth of Elvis’s catalogue — from early rock and roll to gospel, film songs, and the iconic Las Vegas ballads. In 2006, a friend persuaded Dave to get up and sing at a karaoke night. He performed “The Wonder of You” and brought the house down. Within weeks he was on the road as a professional entertainer and has never looked back. Dave even made the pilgrimage to Graceland in Memphis – a dream come true. With his deep voice, Dave particularly excels at the Las Vegas-era Elvis, delivering the big ballads with power and passion. He has been featured on BBC Cornwall.
