The Rocket Man
Jimmy’s authentic portrayal of Sir Elton John is the result of over 26 years in the entertainment industry. Regarded and respected as a vocalist since 1993, he quickly became recognised as one of the best impersonators in the world today.
“I learned to play (piano) especially for the part of Sir Elton” says Jimmy when asked how long he has been playing. “…it comes with the territory, so when I was asked if I could play the part I started practicing right away.”
Jimmy has been training as an actor since he was 16 years old and feels that these skills have also been vital to taking on the role.
“I studied acting and music at my local college for two years, and then more recently have been training at MSA in Manchester…”
Jimmy was a cast member in the Legends multi tribute show in Blackpool for 10 years, and used his time there to develop his impersonation of Sir Elton.
