As far as anyone can be sure, the closest Elvis Presley ever got to Silvertown was Prestwich. His plane briefly touched down there to refuel in 1960, on his way home from armed service in Germany. He seemed as surprised as anyone when scores of crazed locals came flocking to the airport swooning and falling at his feet, all eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved Elvis – the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

But in 2015, the year that Elvis would have been 80 years old, we can announce that the King is coming to Silvertown!

Feel free to scream and swoon – when Vincent Hayes appears as Elvis, in The Fifties Show, Brick Lane Music Hall, May 30th – June 13th 2015.
