It all started after Derek Russell surprised his wife Christine at their Silver Wedding Anniversary, by appearing in a red and white jump suit singing along to backing tapes of their idol Elvis. During the song "The Wonder of You " he walked over to Christine and gave her a scarf, and sewn inside it was a gold locket. The next day they were inundated with telephone calls from guests who were at the party wanting Derek to do a show. After some consideration he said he would do it, if money was raised for children at the local hospital. 

The March 12th concert raised £1,885.34  for 21 month old Shane to help him with treatment at the Bowbath Centre in London as he suffers with Quadriplegic Cerebral palsey, bringing the Grand total to £60,925.50p raised to date for different local causes.
          

The backing singers travelled to Lincolnshire by kind invitation of Dawn & Anthony, to perform at their Wedding reception on September 23rd. They gave us a very generous donation and also went round the guests to collect any loose change they had and we raised £1,124.08p which was divided between Dawn and Anthony's charity for the Teenage Cancer Unit in Lincoln Hospital and our charity for children's diabetes at Q.E. Hospital King's Lynn. This will be added to our funds from the next concert.

At the 10th Anniversary concert on December 3rd at Searles of Hunstanton, we raised £3,527.54p in aid of equipment for children's Diabetes at the QE.Hospital King's Lynn.

At the December 2nd 2007 concert £3,208.25p was raised to support the Children's Liver Foundation. A good night was had by all, but it was also a very emotional night, as after Elvis had his accident last year, we did not think he would be able to perform any more concerts. But how wrong we all were.

We raised £3,048.90p at the concert on March 9th in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

Bringing the grand total raised to help local people to:
£73,890.83

The concert in aid of the Magpie Centre raised £1,312:05.

The March 15th 2009 concert raised £1,527.35p for SCBU.

The Elvis Concert on December 6th 2009 raised £1,339.60 which was divided between Wisbech and District Talking Newspaper and Meadowgate School in Wisbech. This now brings the total raised to date of £78,309.83p for local causes.
