THEIR love of Las Vegas made them fast friends in the 60s and now Bribie Island residents can enjoy the music of Elvis Presley in a one-of-a-kind tribute show this Friday.
The Bribie Island Bowls Club will host the Elvis Presley tribute show Las Vegas Style which features local couple Bruno and Rita Iraci.
Mr Iraci said he and his wife have been working as performers for the past 16 years full-time and enjoyed entertaining crowds with their interactive shows.
The husband and wife duo have performed in Italy, France, North Queensland and the local area.
``We have both had a love for Elvis and since we have been involved in music over the years we just thought it would be fun to bring back Elvis memories in a Vegas-style show,'' Mr Iraci said. ``I also work as an Elvis celebrant so I'm no stranger to playing the singing icon.''
