The Nadur Local Council, in collaboration with Parliamentary Secretary Chris Said, are organising a concert by Mark Andrew Tabone (son of the late Joe Tabone) on Wenesday, June the 30th in the council gardens starting at 9:00pm.

Mark, a Gozitan descendent who hails from Melbourne, has recently won the Elvis World Cup Qualifier for Australia. Mark Andrew Tabone lived most of his childhood at Nadur, Gozo. It was here that he developed his interest in performing arts. During his teen years in Gozo Mark also sang with the local band ‘The Tramps.’ He moved back to Australia in his late teens and formed a band. He launched his Elvis tribute band ‘Elvis Leaves His Mark’ in 1998 and is now one of the best tribute shows worldwide. He has finished in the top 5 in Memphis 2002 – Elvis impersonators competition.

Mark will be celebrating the king’s 75th birth year in style as he will be representing Australia in the Elvis World Cup. Mark participated in the Elvis World Cup Qualifier – Australia and competed against 12 other contestants. Amongst the judges were Elvis’ manager and friend Joe Esposito. Mark went ahead to win this award and he will now represent Australia in the the Elvis World Cup which will be held in July 2010 in Wales.
