Swansea Grand TheatreFri 9th September 7.30pm Internationally renowned as one of the best Elvis tributes in the world, Ben Portsmouth in The King is Back is at Swansea Grand Theatre on Friday 9th September at 7.30pm. Ben, a multi-talented musician, singer and songwriter, had Elvis's DNA in his blood from an early age. His father was an avid Elvis fan and Ben grew up on a diet of Elvis songs. Having honed his musical talent he started his journey as an Elvis tribute artist in 2005 when he formed the ‘Taking care of Elvis’ band. Audiences quickly realized that Ben was someone with a special talent; he looked like Elvis, sang like Elvis and had an on stage charisma that had audiences believing at times they were watching the King himself. This talent saw Ben rapidly rise through the ranks of Elvis Tribute Artists. In August 2012, Ben made history when he won the Elvis Presley Enterprises ‘Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest’ in Memphis, crowning him as the ‘Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist’, the only artist from outside the USA to ever win this prestigious title. In February 2013 Ben headlined on the David Letterman show and has since toured the globe with his band.
