October 05 - Viva Porthcawl!

Harris Printers published the book 'Viva Porthcawl! The Official Story of the Porthcawl Elvis Festival' by Emily Price. 

Synopsis: “When asked to write this book I decided right from the start it had to be about the hard working people involved in this fantastic festival. I didn’t want it to be about facts and figures of how many shows take place or how much profit it rakes in, but about how every character is integral to the running of the event. The people involved are what makes the story of the Porthcawl Elvis Festival so unique. Thank you to Peter Phillips for asking me to write this book and taking me to Porthcawl to meet the people involved. The writing of this book required hours of interviews with key individuals and it was a pleasure talking to all of you. 

In the words of Elvis Presley, “Thank you very much…”
