ELVIS was in the building – also known as All Saints’ Church in Aston-on-Trent – for a concert that raised well over £1,000 for good causes

As reported in February’s Village Voice, church vicar Rev Tony Luke is also chaplain for Derby County Football Club, and is travelling to Kenya with the club’s community trust later this year to work with children in schools in impoverished parts of Nakuru

Tony said: “The concert was a resounding success and thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended. We sold out with two weeks to go!

“The star of the show was undoubtedly Elvis, aka Bob Badwal, supported by my daughter, Charlotte and me, plus two young singers, Satia Badwal and

Ellie-May Astbury.

“All Saints' Church is a superb venue for concerts, and the atmosphere was heightened by the wonderful lighting design, produced by Chris Gorman.”

After clearing expenses, the concert raised enough for a £250 donation to the Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal as well as over £1,000 for Rams in Kenya
