Elvis Presley and Classical music fan Mr. Colgan was, thanks to Producer Sorcha Hough, delighted to welcome an RTE1 TV camera crew to his home in Swords Ireland to video record his unique collection of Elvis memorabilia.
The result will be shown on the Irish TV show, "Dancing with the Stars", on Sunday evening 29th January 2023.
Mr Colgan is famously known for having a statue of, "Elvis at 13", erected close to his birthplace in #Tupelo Mississippi, USA.
His wife Maureen got a little statue of, "Elvis at 3", made by the same sculptor, Michiel Vandersommen, it was on sale at Elvis's birthplace shop in Tupelo.
The full story has appeared on TV3 Ireland and in countless newspapers and magazines over the years.
It has enabled Mr., Colgan to meet a number of celebrities, namely the great Elvis guitarist, Scotty Moore, back stage at Vicar Street music venue in Dublin.
Elvis high school friend, Ed Leek, by letter and phone. Dolores Hart by letter and phone. Tailor to the King, Bernard Lansky of Memphis in his shop at the famous Peabody Hotel. Anne Helm Elvis co-star, by letter. Personal contact with Irish TV Dragon, entrepreneur and Elvis fan, Gavin Duffy. And much more.
This unique collection is worthy of a TV/DVD Documentary.
