The original trio were Brendan 'Elvis' McGibbon, Tommy 'Deano' Coleman and Laura 'Dusty' Hoye.
Since then they have added to the line up with the likes of Frank Withers as Perry Como, Gerard Lavery as Frank Sinatra and Mal, formerly of Mal and the Mustangs, with his rendition of Joe Dolan.
Two new acts joining them are Shannon McConville as Tina Turner and Michelle Casey as Lady Gaga.

"One man who tried out as Roy Orbinson was a total imposter as he was only miming. All acts sing live," added Brendan.
The not-to-be-missed concert is this Saturday night at 9pm in the Clann Eireann club in aid of the local handball club.
