Angry Anderson To Receive Honour At Parkes Elvis Festival

Aussie rock legend Angry Anderson will kick-off the next Parkes Elvis Festival, with the Rose Tattoo stalwart to be inducted into the Elvis Wall Of Fame at the event.

Anderson will join some illustrious company on the wall, including Ian 'Molly' Meldrum, Kamahl, Billy Thorpe and John Paul Young, when he's inducted on Wednesday 7 January. The ceremony, which is a free event, is the first official part of the Elvis Festival program for 2015 and will take place at the Kelly Reserve.

Anderson is truly one of the mainstays of the Aus rock scene, having began his career as the frontman for Buster Brown in the early '70s and going on to lead Rose Tattoo a few years later. In recent years, Anderson has become just as known for his continuous charity work as he is for his music career, heavily supporting local youth charities and men's health awareness in particular.

The Parkers Elvis Festival will take place between Wednesday 7 and Sunday 11 January — head to the event's website for more.
