Thursday 16th July, 2009Stand-up poet, armchair revolutionary and recumbent rocker, Elvis McGonagall is the sole resident of The Graceland Caravan Park somewhere in the middle of nowhere where he scribbles verse whilst drinking scotch, listening to Johnny Cash and throwing heavy objects at his portable telly.
Elvis is the 2006 World Slam Champion, the compere of the notorious Blue Suede Sporran Club and appears regularly on BBC Radio 4’s “Saturday Live” and occasionally on the “Today Programme”.
Politicians. Celebrities. Jeremy Clarkson. All these things make Elvis angry. Very angry. Fast, funny and furious - “….if poetry is the new rock ‘n roll then Elvis….is Elvis”.
