A Church of England vicar has left his congregation all shook up after quitting his job - to become an Elvis Presley impersonator. The Reverend Andy Kelso, 64, ditched his dog collar to wear a high collar and jewelled white jump suit after saying he had a calling from God. Now, the father of five has been dubbed 'Elvis Priestly' after he stopped preaching from the pulpit to belt out The King’s classics to other churches, packed-out pubs, clubs and old folks homes near his former vicarage.
Oh dear. Maybe he should have kept his day job.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lois!
DeleteIf only they'd impersonate Elvis of the early years: maybe "Jailhouse Rock" Elvis in t-shirt & jeans.
ReplyDeleteThe earlier of the two Elvi, "before he discovered carbohydrates"?

ReplyDeleteWell said!!
DeleteHe's retiring 1 year early at 64 - hardly "quitting his job". He's becoming an NSM or Post Retiral Ministry (admittedly in a new and interesting way - beats becoming a social worker i reckon)

ReplyDeleteI think he could impersonate Tom Jones
ReplyDeleteI quite liked it - but then I'm a sad git.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you supplement your income with your Freddie Mercury tribute act, SR?
