"I've never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the first time we go on."
-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM's documentary "Elvis on Tour".

- We like to improve the living conditions of all of the Villagers by letting this event grow to the biggest Elvis Festival outside the USA.
- We like to make this area, the Tsitsikamma, world renowned through this well branded event, and donate prices for the most well kept gardens in the Township and through that pride and job creation, example Township Tours.
