Last weekend was one of the most important dates in the Welsh Elvis fans calendar, with thousands of people from all over the world descending on Porthcawl for the annual Elvis festival.

What did Elvis have in common with Porthcawl?

Who knows, but this three-day event gets more and more popular every year, with people (and dogs!) of all ages dressing up as the King of Rock ‘n Roll and being treated to more than 50 Elvis tribute artists who perform in more than 100 shows.

The weather was very kind to the fans, which I’m sure created a few chaffing moments beneath the various Lycra costumes, which appeared in all shapes and sizes.

Am I missing something, or are we turning into a nation of crazy people?

The world has gone mad.

My spies inform me that Porthcawl ran out of burgers before the end of the weekend, which I’m sure left a few people all shook up!

They even had a Michael ‘Vegas’ Rees from Newcastle Emlyn, ready to compete, but he, unfortunately, had to pull out due to a heavy cold.

You can’t make this stuff up can you?
