text: A photographer has captured dozens of Elvis impersonators as they gathered at some of Europe's biggest tributes to The King. Graeme Oxby documented the dedicated fans at events including Europe's Tribute to Elvis in Blackpool, The Elvis Weekender in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorskshire, and The European Elvis Championships in Birmingham. The 50-year-old, from East Yorkshire, even visited their homes to capture images for his photo series, called 'The Kings of England'. He said: 'Elvis was a unique phenomenon, the prototype superstar and his influence has spread far and wide. 'Britain is the European centre for Elvis tribute activity and hosts of the biggest and best contests in the world. The fans I met were in mainly quite old although, there's a new generation of people discovering the music of the King. 'I hope to show the colour, the razzmatazz and the fun of the Elvis Tribute world. Elvis was a one off but all around Europe, and to varying degrees of success, men women and even children are paying tribute to a remarkable performer and cultural phenomenon, having a good time in the process.' A selection of his work is on a UK gallery tour until 2017, ans is currently on show at The Cooper in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Mr Oxby has also set up aKickstarter page to help fund 'The Kings of England' book - a tribute to the fans and impersonators he has met.
