Our star cloths are used as stage backdrops in theatres, at rock concerts, in discos and special events such as weddings and parties, home theatre or in retail settings. A star cloth (or star curtain) is a piece of heavy black fabric studded with end glow optical fibres. The glowing fibre points are evenly distributed across the surface of the cloth and change colour or twinkle according to the set-up of the light source which provides the illumination. They measure 22ft. X 20ft therefore two matching cloths will give you a 40ft. span with a 22ft. drop. these are ideal for large theatrical productions but we also supply a 10ft. X 20ft. cloth which is ideal for smaller situations such as weddings, business presentations etc. We deliver install and collect all our cloths so contact us at 0035316211314.

 or email gt@elvisgolf.com  

A Star Cloth is the perfect way to give your venue that extra sparkle.

Elvis.ie recommends this very thoughtful and cogent commentary to all readers.

With themes including sexual tension, civil rights, backlash by society's cultural arbiters, r&b integration and realising the American dream.......this is a powerful exposition!

Quote:

Ed Bonja  (Elvis' official photographer and lifelong friend of Colonel Tom Parker)

         

" Brilliant, fantastic, what can I say if you only see one Elvis Presley Musical in your life this is the one, what you get is two and a quarter hours of magic, great story, great music, great actors, singers and dancers. This musical deserves to run in the West End for ten years, and I guarantee that if it makes it there it will.

Some audience reaction:

"Wonderful night's entertainment"

"You don't have to be an Elvis fan to enjoy this fantastic musical"

"Deserves to run for ever, great cast, great show.

"Brilliant night a must see"
