Who or what is Elvis from Nunhead, I could Google it, but best if you explain.

For gods sake... Just what we need.

Aren't there 1000s of Elvis impersonators, why is this one special? I do quite a good impression myself - She is watching the detectives, "Ooh, it's so cute", She's watching the detectives, When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start, But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart

Then I go into Steve Nieve doing his organ solo. Wonderful.

Aaron is a much loved local Nunhead hero and lovely young chap.

He's been singing as Elvis around Nunhead for a long time. Recently singing through lockdown to raise money for the Salvation Army. Also the subject and star of a short film and winner of a community award

Often seen singing around Nunhead Station.

Ok, I did google this and watched a few videos of the Nunhead Elvis performing. He?s got something going on, and it?s giving people a lot of pleasure.

His ?Elvis? moves are probably better than his actual ?singing?, but why let that get in the way, as he?s got the track playing anyway, so when he?s gasping for air after a few 1970?s Vegas style Karate moves, the real Elvis is there to take over. In fact Nunheads Elvis probably let?s real Elvis carry him a fair bit, while he gets on with ?channeling? Elvis, with his dancing and moving between the wheelie bins of his make do street stage.

I?d go to watch him if I was in the area, for sure. This kind of act is rare these days, and though he looks a little more Shakin Steven?s than Elvis is no matter. He?s brave and kind enough to raise money for people in need, and good luck with to him.

Elvis lives! and he lives in Nunhead.

[malumbu]

Ah thanks, not Elvis Costello then. It would have been nice if the OP had explained all of this rather than looking like they were spamming this and other community websites.

There used to be a Chinese Elvis who regularly performed in a restaurant on the Old Kent Road.

Sadly I never saw him. However I did once spend a memorable (for many reasons) New Year's Eve at an Indian restaurant where there was an Indian Elvis.

It was brilliant 😁

[malumbu]

I have in deed seen Chinese Elvis, but some may remember the two Italian restaurants run by feuding family members in Streatham that both had an Elvis Cabaret.

If you join the group your question will be answered - the group is all about Aaron

[Thunderblue600]

I have NOT been SPAMMING Aaron has raised over ?3702 so far for The Salvation Army in Nunhead who are supplying meals every week for the vulnerable - if you can be bothered to actually visit the group you would soon appreciate that Aaron is not an Elvis Costello impersonator - besides who is?

[KidKruger]

Yeah back-off on the spamming BS, Aaron is one of our local heroes and nothing bad will be said about him so wind that in already.

He?s doing his thing and for good reasons he?s well-loved locally.

[malumbu]

Yep great what the kid is doing. If you had spent a little more time composing your first post then it would have helped and looked less like click bait.

For fans of the other Elvis I've found some cover versions

I want to a Showaddywaddy (really?) gig many years ago, more of a cabaret act, and when they asked if anyone liked Elvis the crowd cheered. Then they added "Costello", and it went quiet apart from a single cheer from me. For younger readers they covered 50s rock and roll numbers wearing pastel coloured teddy boy outfits. The drummer was not Dion Dublin's dad, but a friend of his.

Ha ha I saw Elvis at La Pergola one Christmas Day long ago 🤣🤣🤣

Had no idea about the feud 🤣🤣🤣

Wouldn't have been my choice - my dad took the whole family - but it was great fun!
