Genuine piece of Elvis' hair for auction at Curzon Centre

Organiser Chris Owen - a family friend of the Charmans who live in Candlemas Lane - has organised several gigs to raise money for Joe who is severely autistic and needs help paying for treatment in America.
But this event promises to be the best of them all with a night of rock and roll with as many of the King's hits as can be fitted into one evening and two incredible pieces of Elvis memorabilia for auction
Mr Owen said: "Elvis's barber always kept his hair after he had given Elvis a hair cut. When Elvis's barber sold his house he gave the purchasers a bag (one of many that he had accumulated). This piece of hair is from that bag and comes in a display with a certificate of authenticity."
The other item is equally unexpected - a piece of rotting timber from the shack in which Elvis was brought up in Tupelo, which was literally picked up by Mr Owens when he visited the town last year.
Mr Owen said: "Rob Kingsley is amazing. I went to see him at the Grand Theatre in Swansea a couple of weeks ago, some of the audience really felt that they were seeing the man himself. He did a meet and greet after the show and he will be doing the same in Beaconsfield. The atmosphere was electric."
This will be the last fund raising gig for Joe for a while. Mr Owens said: "I am finding ticket sales hard the moment probably due to the credit crunch so I am putting the shows on hold until things pick up."
Tickets are £15 each or £25 each including dinner. To book call 01494 670744 or 07770 888997 or email crisowen@tiscali.co.uk. For more information visit www.afundforjoe.co.uk and www.avisionofelvis.com
