Elvis in Porthcawl
Every September fans of the King of rock & roll congregate in the South Wales seaside town of Porthcawl to celebrate the music of Elvis Presley. Since 2004 it has grown from a handful of events playing to a few hundred fans to a festival spread across more than 20 venues and attended by over 35000 fans. The congregation of Elvis fans make the festival what it is and though the event is visited by Elvis’s and Elvis fans from across the world the dominant factor that shapes the atmosphere at the heart of the celebrations is the culture and philosophy of the Welsh people.
