ABOUT US

 

Strictly Elvis UK is the UK’s largest Elvis fan organization. Dedicated solely to keeping the legend of Elvis Presley alive and sharing his legacy with fans not only here in the UK but across the globe.

 

Elvis was unique – his voice, singing style and stage presence will be copied by many but never bettered…in fact no-one even comes close. Which is probably why, some 38 years after his untimely passing, his music is still with us and he is still making new fans as more and more people discover his unbelievable talent.

 

Founded back in 1972 as the Elvis Travel Service we had 5 glorious years of taking large groups of fans to the USA  to see Elvis perform in Las Vegas and whilst on tour but, in an instant on 16th August 1977, our world stopped. But not for long. Elvis’ music will never die – and nor would the legend that was Elvis Presley. His music is very much alive; his concert performances and movies are ‘in the can’ for future generations to enjoy; his generosity was legendary, as was his sense of fun. He had the looks, and the style, the charisma that made girls want to be with him, and men aspire to be like him – and throughout his career, his Army Service and as a family man, he was an ideal role model.

 

And his fan base has never waned – in fact in recent years it has started to rise in number as new generations of people throughout the world are discovering Elvis. His music is still as fresh as the day it was recorded and, as far as his fans are concerned, Elvis is, and forever will be, just 42 years old.

 

The Elvis Travel Service continues to take Elvis fans to the USA – visiting his humble birthplace in Tupelo, his beautiful Graceland mansion home in Memphis and, in fact, all of the sights associated with his life. We also incorporate visits to other parts of the USA which have an Elvis connection – such as New Orleans where he filmed King Creole, Nashville home of the Grand Ole Opry and where he recorded many hit records at RCA’s famous Studio B, Las Vegas where he truly was ‘King of the Strip’, Miami Beach where, upon leaving the US Army he was a guest on the Frank Sinatra TV Show, Palm Springs where Elvis and Priscilla spent their Honeymoon plus lots of other places including Hawaii, Elvis’ favourite holiday destination and location for many of his movies. As the acknowledged experts in Elvis holidays in addition to our Stateside holidays we also organize trips to Bad Nauheim in Germany where Elvis was based whilst in the Forces, as well as weekend and weeklong holidays in the UK – all packed with Elvis….of course!

 

Strictly Elvis UK was formed to partner the Elvis Travel Service simply because we don’t just arrange holidays – we organize Concerts, Film Festivals, Charity Balls and are determined to keep Elvis’ legacy alive. Strictly Elvis UK is completely independent yet is registered to, and works closely with, Elvis Presley Enterprises at Graceland. Most important though, it is run by Elvis fans – for Elvis fans. No barriers, no elitism, no ‘politics’ and ideal for all ages with activities to suit all tastes and pockets. It is not a Club so there are no dues to pay or rejoin dates to remember.  We send out regular Newsletters and Updates to all of our ‘Strictly Elvis family’ for no charge whatsoever. We also have a very active Facebook Page (visit us at The Elvis Presley Travel Service/Strictly Elvis) and on Twitter. These are both informative and, we hope, amusing, and will keep you up to date with all that’s happening on the Elvis scene in the UK. Above all Strictly Elvis UK engenders ‘fun’ – we enjoy everything we do and we’re sure you will too.
