Parish priest Father Stuart Howes explains: "The music is specially selected to show off the musical talents of Elvis Presley in his youthful days, before he evolved into what might be termed his Viva Las Vegas years."

He went on to say: "It will be a fun night for dyed-in-the-wool Elvis fans and for music lovers who might be curious to learn why Elvis is seen as such a massive influence on pop music and popular culture.

"It will make an early Christmas present for the Elvis aficionados in your life!"
