Jack at The Academy Basingstoke - February 2007


I have to tell you that, if you missed seeing Jack at one of his February '07 UK tour venues, then you missed something really special.


Boy, was he on top form. As the years go by, so Jack's energy and enthusiasm just goes on and on, engulfing the audience in such passion for the music of Elvis and Jack's endless talent.


I saw him at The Academy, Basingstoke on Saturday 3rd February along with a packed house. His show started at 9pm but there were still queues at 10pm for his second set as people had come from all over the area having heard him live on Kestrel FM earlier that day.


The audience were wowed! I am a great fan of Jack Smink but I cannot tire of seeing his unique tribute to the King. Given that his other venues were sell-out events his drawing power is enormous.


We were treated to his new song, recorded with The Jordinaires and the audience absolutely loved it. I heard one group arguing over whether or not it was Elvis or Jack singing on the record!


Sadly, his lovely wife Karen could not accompany him on this trip but we hope that Jack will soon come back to the UK and maybe bring her too.


Jack - "thank you so much".
