🤩 ABOUT
With global success in over 20 countries including sell-out performances on the same Vegas stage as Elvis, to London’s West End, don’t miss Ben Portsmouth: This is Elvis, at the Grove Theatre.
Making history in 2012, Ben broke records becoming the first European to be crowned by Elvis Presley Enterprises as the ‘Worldwide Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist’ in Memphis, which swiftly followed with an invite to headline a special Elvis week on the Late Show with David Letterman.
Celebrating the life of an iconic showman, Ben and the Taking Care of Elvis Band will take you on a trip down memory lane with many of Elvis’ most loved songs from all eras including the 1950s, the iconic ’68 Comeback Special, and Ben’s personal favourite, the 1970s Vegas concerts.
With his looks, charm and charisma, Ben is recognised as the world’s leading Elvis tribute artist – he continues to amaze audiences with his stage presence, with fans globally claiming, ‘this is the closest you will ever get to the King!’.
Join us for a phenomenal evening with Ben and the Band on this worldwide tour!

🎶 Utter! Lutonia - The Hat Factory Arts Centre, Luton
Time: 20:00 - 23:00
🤩 WHAT TO EXPECT
Luton's spoken-word scene owes a lot to the things Paul Rafferty did in the 90s . . . now he's coming back to share some of the things he's done since. Luton's arts-scene now owes a reasonable amount to Rae Leaver-Rahman and we are delighted to have her on the bill too. Local musician and artist Gary Abram debuts new material and Mark Billington brings his unique point of view and so does Britny Virginia.
Finally, a poet Luton forged and formed (and fresh from almost winning the Forward Prize in 2019 with Truth Street) David Cain shares his new collection with the Luton cognoscenti.
▪️AGES: Suitable for ages 16+
🎟 TICKETS COST:
▪️£6 - Over 16
