 NEWS! Update  23rd January 2013.

 New book 'Elvis and Ireland',  by Ivor Casey, now available on amazon.com

 Also featured in a Chicago USA magazine and Australian website, PLUS more Elvis forums. 

 

 

The UK "Record Collector" magazine will feature the Elvis Presley "My Happiness" acetate recording story in it's August 5th 2010 issue. 

Sad news Ed Leek died 4th June 2010.. 

Ed Leek was selling the historic and original "My Happiness" 78rpm acetate record which his pal Elvis Presley gave to him in 1953!  As the "Holy Grail" of Rock 'n' Roll, It's got to be worth a huge sum of cash. It is now the property of his widow, Mrs Susan Leek. There are those that think the record may have lost some of it's value because the song was reproduced commercially. So was the "Mona Lisa" and John Constables "Haywain", the originals are still priceless.

 More photos on the Irelandtoo link below. The story would make a great Elvis Documentary for TV and DVD.

Goldmine magazine has already featured the story.

Captain Edwin S Leek Jnr, was in touch with yours truly, by email and telephone. It was a pleasure speaking to the intelligent and articulate man.

Elvis week in Memphis approaches after another very successful Elvis Festival in Tupelo Mississippi earlier this month.
September 2008.

On the Dave Fanning show on our national 2FM radio yours truly was invited to discuss Elvis's extraordinary voice with an "Evening Herald" reporter who was attempting the impossible. Sparks flew!   Just imagine the young guy lecturing a veteran Elvis fan on the qualities of popular singer's voices.

 

 Ronan Collins on his RTE1 Radio show played an Elvis song for my birthday:-) According to Ronan I am an "Elvis Officianado". Bejazus, that's a first!
