Marcus Andrew, Herefords own Elton John
soundalike with his new CD.

Crododile Rock at the Black Lion

A Tune entered Marcus Andrews' head back in 1983 and has stayed there ever since. In fact, it's playing a big part in his future as an Elton John impersonator."

That tune, "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" is one of his heros classics, and Marcus, of Redhill in Hereford, offers his own take on a five-track CD he recorded recently.
The Disc already gets more plays than Eltons original on the juke-box at Marcus's local The Black Lion, Bridge Street, Hereford, where it all began.
There, Marcus is well known for striking up the singers hits when everyone is in "Party Mood".
Impressed by what they heard one night, a "mentor" saw potential and set up the studio session.
Word of mouth makes Marcus popular at present, especially after a well received new years eve gig across the road at The Left Bank.
But he is aiming at the stars;Stars In Their Eyes, the popular TV impersonation show.
Then there's a charity gala evening alongside Jim Davidson.
Yet even if bigger stages come on, Marcus will always come back to the Black Lion, and "fame" won't change that.
