Rory
Allen is a regular performer at Casino Regina. He consistently
performs to an enthusiastic, standing-room only crowd. Our
guests make reservations for his shows months in advance and
I can say without any doubt that he is one of the most popular
entertainers we have brought into the Last Spike Show Lounge.
Rory is a true professional. Management and staff at Casino
Regina enjoy working with him and appreciate the enthusiasm
and energy that he brings with him.

Casino
Regina opened its doors to the public in January 1996 and
has averaged in excess of 4,000 visitors per day since opening.
The casino has established itself as a world class casino
and entertainment complex. SGC [Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation]
provides a first class quality entertainment experience for
its patrons.
...the reaction of the casino public to his first performance
was such a success that Rory Allen has become a regular performer
in Casino Regina, still attracting an enthusiastic public.
In my years in the casino business I have come across numerous
and varied acts. Rory Allen's act is certainly up there with
the better ones that I have seen. I would have no hesitation
in recommending him to any interested party.

The
Northern Lights Casino opened it's doors to the new Casino
on March 19, 1998 and Rory was booked as the first act to
perform in the Starlight Lounge at the Casino. Rory was an
excellent addition as he held the crowd and was rewarded with
enthusiastic applause during each and every set of his three
day stay here. Rory is very energetic and works well with
the crowd. He is a very easy performer to work with and was
professional at all times.

Like
your talent, your show is first-rate. We especially appreciated
your interaction with our guests. You demonstrated your versatility
in going from a stage performance to a more, "up front and
personal" setting...we would not hesitate to recommend your
show and would look forward to a future opportunity to feature
you at a Tourism Saskatchewan event.

Our
delegates were captivated by your performance...Your show
was the perfect way to kick-off the convention...Your energy
and incredible talent struck a chord with our delegates and
brought back some good memories for them. Even the Lieutenant
Governor stayed for the second set and he was scheduled to
originally depart at 9:00pm.

Thank
you for your superb performance at our RE/MAX Awards Evening.
We have entertainment at this and other events each year and
have never received the accolades we received from that evening.
It was a perfect performance for our group. You were fun,
professional and in good taste. Your talent for the Elvis
voice is the finest I've heard...I highly recommend you to
anyone who wants an enjoyable evening they'll not forget.

Rory's
performance at our "Las Vegas Night" was a huge success. His
energy and enthusiasm was very contagious and had the crowd
involved from the start of his first three performances. Rory,
along with his entourage, truly captured the authenticity
of Elvis at his best. He puts on a great show and we would
not hesitate to hire him again. We highly recommend Rory to
anyone thinking of hiring him for any occasion.

Thank
you for your superb performance at our convention's Blue Suede

of convention fun nights, but Rory, you captured their hearts
from the first set and kept them until the very end - a true
indication of your high caliber talent and showmanship. Thank
you again for adding so much energy and fun to our convention.

I
would like to take this opportunity to thank you for performing
at our United Way fundraiser Kick-Off breakfast. Performing
at 7:30 in the morning is not an easy task, however you gave
an amazing performance and I received many comments from employees
to reinforce this. Your performance was a great contributing
factor to our campaign success this year...Many of us have
since enjoyed your "Tribute to the King" performances at Casino
Regina. Personally I have seen many Tributes to the King and
I can say that without a doubt your Tribute is by far the
best yet.

The
Saskatchewan Safety Council hired Rory for its 40th Anniversary
Celebration. His show was not only a hit but ended up being
the highlight of our celebration. I highly recommend Rory
Allen's Tribute to the King show to anyone who is interested
in offering great family entertainment. I guarantee a good
time will be had by all.

Many
of the florists and industry representatives commented on the
wonderful evening of entertainment that Rory presented to us
and how they felt it was one of the best convention events we
have ever offered. Rory has a real gift for making everyone
feel that they are very special and for giving us a taste of
what it may have been like to be in the presence of "The King"
when he was in his prime in Las Vegas. Rory brought back many
cherished memories.

I think you all did a wonderful job!
100x better than the Elvis impersonator we paid $100 US to
see in Las Vegas
Great Job! Very good.
Great concert - keep up the good work!
Just the best!
Rory - you're the closest to the king as I'll ever see. You're
awesome. Hope I get to meet you. I bought the Christmas tape.
I'm sure I'll love it.
Great to see so many talented Saskatchewan people on one stage.
Excellent!
Fantastic entertainment
Awesome! We love you!
Wonderful! That really wasn't Rory, it was a tape of Elvis,
right? Seriously, it was soooo enjoyable and that band - wow!!
Wow, what a great show, very entertaining. Elvis was the king
but you seem like a prince!! Thanks for the great night.
Great show - I love Elvis - you do a marvellous job. May the
Lord richly bless you for many, many years.
Keep it up. It's great to see Sask talent. Awesome show.
Wonderful show. I will go see you again. Next time I'll get
a scarf. Awesome!
Rory, we enjoyed your show immensely. Awesome performance.
A great concert and inspirational as always. You're always
getting better.
Made me feel like as was back in my teenage years. Love you
all.
Your brought Elvis' spirit to my heart.
Congratulations to all the group. Everyone had spunk and spirit.
The show was 1st class. Thank you for the entertainment.
God Bless you all. You work really hard and do an awesome
show and give the Lord Jesus credit for it all. Welcome any
day to the Singing Waitress Cafe to sing at our Jamboree.
Love you.
God Bless you and your family. Thanks for continuing to touch
hearts as Elvis did. Excellent show. God Bless.
Super, as usual! A Saskatchewan treasure!
Very good. Would like to see you again.
Excellent show. Loved it.
Wow!! Good job!
Enjoyed the show. You have been given the gift of a wonderful
voice, great personality and a wonderful team! The music was
awesome, the show the greatest. Thank you. God Bless you all
and give us all many years to enjoy each other.
God Bless you, Rory! Thanks ever so much for a scarf and autograph.
Somehow, after meeting you and Lorie personally in Prince
Albert at a conference and hearing you perform I know the
Lord would not let all that talent go to waste. You have been
truly blessed. Hope Gerald and I can see you in Stoon in December.
Excellent group! Glad you came! We love you!
Rory,you were in St.Walburg on Saturday,September 3rd, 2005
, entertaining for a large crowd. While singing you came down
from the stage singing among the crowd. You chose me to go
onstage with you. The next day people called me a celebrity,
Mrs.Presley, and a star. Thank you. Good luck and keep up
the good entertaining people.Your band and girls were great.
Hi Lorie, Rory and all,
Thanks for making the weekend complete with a great show as
usual. What else could one expect? The people I spoke with
the day after the concert had only great things to say. One
of S.Dolores' cousins said she felt 17 again.
I look forward to your Festival of Trees concert.
God bless, Love Sister Dianne
As
performers ourselves, we have to really give a tip of the
hat to Rory's performance. The energy, care to details such
as wardrobe, staging and backdrop, along with the audience
interaction makes his show a fun, enjoyable experience. It
is hard to stay seated when Rory kicks into a song like Blue
Suede Shoes and his handling of Gospel and show tunes reflects
his true talent.... If you haven't seen Rory yet we would
suggest you take in the next performance.
Men Without Shame, Regina, SK
On
behalf of the Year III students at St. Peter School, I wish
to commend you for your recent visit to our classroom and
for your support of our Student-of-the-Day program. It is
people like you who make St. Peter School a dynamic place
of learning by helping to make the connection between our
school and the Regina City community. Thank you for taking
the time to help to formulate new ideas and for providing
new learning experiences for our "little ones".

We
would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making
our "Las Vegas comes to Regina" night so very special. The
event was a rousing success and the comments we received during
and after the show were all very positive. The show was first
class...and the 240 people in attendance all left with smiles
on their faces and we knew they had been entertained. The
people were amazed that Rory could entertain them for three
hours. The professional manner in which your show is performed
is first class all the way and you should be proud of the
way it is presented.

We
want to express our thanks for your part in YouthQuake '97.
It's so amazing to us how the Lord brings people alongside
with unique ministries to make the weekend successful. We
have talked through many aspects of YouthQuake and realize
that the biggest positive surprise we had in the response
to our guests was to your show. What your show did for our
weekend was to keep the spiritual excitement and adrenalin
up through Saturday afternoon when often this is the period
of time that kids who don't like competitions and sports fall
through the cracks. Much more than that, you allowed God to
minister through you and you reached kids with challenges
to change and grow. Thank you again and we will pray for you
as you continue to use your gifts for God.

Rory Allen has such a great voice and a wonderful personality
treating everyone so "special". I know that Rory and his entourage
will travel to many more places in the future not only because
of Rory's dynamite voice, but because of the fact that the whole
show is so professional that you think you're in Las Vegas.
Rory definitely has what it takes!.

Well,
once again you've entertained me to the max. I went to see
you Friday, June 29, 2001 at the McPhillips Street Casino
in Winnipeg...I went Friday night with my sister and mom.
We all enjoyed the show as usual. This was my third show.
The first two shows were March 29 & 30, 2001 at the Club Regent
Casino in Winnipeg. I had been waiting anxiously for Friday
to show up. I even drove the folks I work with crazy. They
thought I was to happy all day Friday. They teased me asking
me what I had been drinking. This show was even a little more
exciting because this time I (we) saw you up close. You shook
my mom's hand, then stood on the chair and sang to us... Well...I
would just like to say from the bottom of my heart, Thank
you so much for the fabulous performance Friday. I promise
that when/if you come back to the Club Regent Casino I will
be there for both shows. Guaranteed.

We
were at your show in Lancer, Sk. last night (Feb. 10th). We
thoroughly enjoyed our evening there and would like to express
our thanks for a first rate, professional performance. We
enjoyed every minute and only wished it could have gone on
longer! You do great justice to Elvis songs and sing them
like no other (except maybe the King himself!) We enjoyed
your sense of humour and also the fact that the entire show
was in good taste and suitable for the many young people there.
We certainly hope that we have the privilege of attending
one of your shows again some day. I listened to your CD on
the way to church this morning and was deeply moved by some
of the songs. I will just leave it in my car and listen to
it often. Once again, thank you for the wonderful show at
Lancer. The people there sure know how to decorate and put
on a entertaining evening don't they?
M & R, SK.
I
think Rory Allen is an amazing singer and performer I would
go see him over and over. I am 29 years old and would have
never been able to see Elvis himself but the show I saw at
the Applause! Feast and Folly made me breathless, I did see
and hear Elvis Presley for the first time. Rory Allen gives
us young people a chance to see Elvis Presley live, I thank
him for that privilege.
C.C., Regina, SK
Saw
you a number of times this past weekend at the Majestics Car
Show in Regina. Being from North Dakota, I have to say that
your show was one of the best I've ever seen. You are quite
talented and deserve the future that is in store for you.
Most people that try to imitate Elvis do it in a "cheezy"
way. You are a professional in every step of the way. Elvis
would be proud to have you portray him! TCB.

If Rory ever needs a reference, just have them call me. Recent
events have shown Rory, not only to be a great singer and entertainer;
but, a caring and compassionate gentleman as well.

Just
thought I'd let you know that I caught your show at the Club
Regent Casino in Winnipeg, March 30, 2001 and you now have
a new fan. I enjoyed it so much I went back the next night
to catch your second show. I'm sure you hear this all the
time but you are fantastic. You have a great stage show, great
sense of humour and including the audience in your show was
a delight. ... I never really experienced Elvis live but I'd
like to think I would have enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed
your show. I left your show with a smile on my face and I
often find myself smiling even when I'm at work. Just thinking
of your show makes me feel good. You have a beautiful voice.
Your so lucky to be blessed with such talent.
C.B., Winnipeg, MB
Just
wanted to say a huge thank you for an incredible evening in
Moose Jaw this past Saturday (Feb. 3). I am one of the seven
sisters who you sang "Little Sister" to. That was awesome!!
Thank you so-o-o-o-o much for taking my sister, Dorothy, onto
the stage and singing to her. She floated around for the rest
of the weekend!! She said to tell you thanks for an unbelievable
evening, one that she will remember forever! She said you
saved her the plane ticket back to Calgary because she was
flying so high, she didn't need a plane. Once again, a huge
thank you from all of us. We enjoyed your show so-o-o-o much!!!!
You are an amazing performer. Thank you, thank you, thank
you!"

Hello, the package arrived with the CD intact and plays well.
My wife and are happy with it. I had fooled her, and told her
it was a new Elvis CD I had got. When I showed the CD case she
could not believe her ears. Thank you once again.

It
is my great privilege to commend to you, Rory Allen, from
the Great Plains of Western Canada. My husband and I first
met Rory when he appeared at our company's Christmas party.
...Rory's huge talent made the event a major success. It is
often a rare thing to find both professional talent and personal
authenticity in any given individual. Rory Allen wears his
gifts well...humbly in fact. In my mind, he is already on
his way to becoming a star.

were terrific. I am a huge Elvis fan and you pay him a great

Thanks for your show for Citizen's All in Moose Jaw. Your ability
to touch people through the music of the King is a gift. Your
God-given gift was a gift to us! Thanks for a great show!

I would like you to know that the show that we saw was truly
amazing! The songs that you sang were a good mix of his own.
Anyway we would like you to know that you are an excellent likeness
to the king and we hope that you are able to take Elvis' image
and songs and keep them alive and well.
D.K.,
Regina, SK
I'm a great fan of the King and really appreciate the fact that
you don't promote yourself as an Elvis Impersonator but as a
performer who does a Tribute to the King. I'm sure Elvis himself
would truly be impressed with your performance... Your voice
is truly the closest thing to the real thing that I have ever
heard. You do the city of Regina proud with your talents and
your professionalism.
S.B.,
Regina, SK
I wanted to pass along how wonderful the show was...We really
enjoyed ourselves...Rory has a great way with the audience and
handles himself great. This is a gift a lot of people don't
have. You have a way of making people feel special and comfortable.
B.G.,
Regina, SK
I must say when I first heard about you from my friend Vicky,
I was very skeptical. I am a very huge Elvis fan and said
to her "How good can he be? No one will ever touch Elvis's
talent." Boy, was I wrong! I have only one word to describe
you and your show.
PHENOMENAL!!!
That
word isn't even strong enough. The costumes and moves are
outstanding but what really blew my mind was that your voice
sounds like him whether you're singing or speaking. It is
very easy to see that you love what you do because you put
your heart, soul and an incredible amount of energy into each
show. You have a wonderful sense of humor and I love the way
you interact with the audience. It is impossible not to have
a good time when at your show. You have an amazing gift and
I hope you never stop performing...and I know with the talent
you have you can accomplish whatever you set out to do. Thank
you for the best time I've had in years, I really enjoyed
myself. Keep up the good work!"
-A
huge Elvis fan and now an ENORMOUS Rory Allen fan.

I took in your show on Saturday night and you were terrific.
I have been to see you three times and each time was wonderful.
I am a huge Elvis fan and you pay him a great tribute. It is
so wonderful to be able to see someone as good as you are right
here in Regina, without having to travel to the States. You
make so many people able to see what it would have been like
to have seen an Elvis show...Thank you so much for being here.

Mr
Allen, just wanted to say that in a world full of mostly crummy
impersonators you stand out in a very positive light. ...I became
a tribute artist because I felt most who do this leave the public
in general with a bad taste in there mouth,Elvis is not a joke
and unfortunately anyone can throw on a jumpsuit and do whatever
they want and call it a tribute,I have never sent a compliment
to any other but after visiting the B&K website I looked
you up and was very impressed by what I saw....,by the way your
voice is great.

WOW !!! I bought the tickets not knowing if my mother even liked
Elvis but being aware of her enjoyment of gospel music... she
was thrilled. Your show was second to none! We loved it and
your selection of songs was fantastic, my daughter and I couldn't
quit singing along. I was also pleasently surprised to see all
the performers with you are local talent. You are another of
the reasons "We love Regina."

Hi! We just wanted to let you know we loved the Mother's Day

for Sharing your faith in the gift of song. Best of luck to
you in all your future endeavours.
- D and S, Vibank, SK
I remember the days singing with you in the Heatherington
singers. I also remember back then how you performed for us
in the choir. It was a blessing to see you at the WCC on Mother's
Day in Regina.
Who would have ever thought that God would use your talent
to bless the crowds who love you so much.

The best show representing Elvis.
Rory is genuine...have him again!
Thanks for sharing your gift.
Great show - awesome voice.
Really enjoyed the show. The band was incredible! The girls
are great and you rule, Rory!
Fantastic show. Great performance. Came here to celebrate
our 34th wedding anniversary so this was a pleasure for my
husband and I. Thank you.
Your show just keeps on getting better and better (if that's
possible)
Terrific show - wonderful singing.
Great show - loved every minute!!
Fantastic and exceptional performance. Hope to see you again
in Regina in October!
A fabulous performance. We will be back for the next one!
Can I be one of your Jordanettes? I loved you Rory!
Next to Elvis himself you're the greatest. Incredible band!
I was at your concert last night, Saturday, May 15th at Club
Regent in Winnipeg. I have to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed
your concert. I thought you as an entertainer were second
to none, and I would also like to tell you that I thought
your band was exceptional. You made it an enjoyable evening.
Something that was really nice to see was your wife enjoying
the concert. It was obvious she was completely into your music
and what you do. I congratulate you on being a fine musician,
an excellent entertainer and for bringing Elvis back to us.
Hi there Mr. Allen,
We took in your show at the Regent Avenue Casino in Winnipeg
on Friday May 14th and we thought it a super show. Very professional
and yet close conntact with the audience, we hope to see your
show again either heir in Winnipeg or perhaps in Regina at
the Centre of the Arts.in October. Thank you very much, R
and A.
