RICKY JENKINS

Ricky Jenkins is from a small village in South Wales, called Fluer-de-Lis. He has been an ETA since 2015. It all started when he was asked to do a few songs at a Boxing Night event in one of his local pubs known as The Top Club in Cefn Fforest. He went down so well that a “few” songs turned out to be a full-blown gig and from that moment a desire to perform more was born within him.

He visited the Porthcawl Elvis Festival over the years as a spectator and the event and performers taking part instilled in him a greater love for the King himself Elvis Presley.

Ricky’s dream was to become an Elvis Tribute Act one day and to enter the competition in the Pavilion in Porthcawl which takes place during the Elvis Festival. His career highlight to this present day was to become 2018 and 2019 best Welsh (Runner up) 2nd place to Emilio Santora in the 2019 Porthcawl Best #Elvis Competition. This was such a special experience for Ricky having his family present to witness such an occasion.

Ricky uses backing tracks of the highest quality and coaching with both voice and stage present he is on course not only to be the number one ETA in Wales.  He has a rare presence about him that oozes star quality. He is the one, second to none!

In future, he wants to attend more competitions and festivals but mostly he just wants to continue keeping Elvis’ legacy alive through his music and make his fans happy, as without them there would be no ETA’s.
