Parkes Elvis Festival Markets attracts stallholders from across the country

The Brisbane couple are in Parkes for their seventh consecutive year to take part in the Festival Markets.

The self-confessed rockabillies do travel the road show circuit, but said the Parkes Elvis Festival is a firm favourite.

"The rawness and the beats and the lyrics make the music great," Mrs Walker said.

“You just can’t beat it, rockabilly and the early raw sound.”

"The vocals are clearer and the music is not complex," Mr Walkers said.

Their stall at the Cooke Park event has every possible type of Elvis Presley memorabilia imaginable – from buttons to stubby holders, clothes and postcards.

"The most popular items are the Elvis handbags," Mr Walker said.

Mrs Walker said the Festival Markets are always a lot of fun thanks to the great music.

"It's got everything. It's fun, it's a great event," she said.

However, while they might like the music from the 1950s and 60s, Mr and Mrs Walker did admit they don’t dance to it.

“I love watching it, but I can’t dance,” Mrs Walker said.

Also at the Festival Markets, and selling rockabilly clothing, was Claudia Trejbal 'Sunny Burns' and her friend Samantha Figgins 'Bonnie von Torque'.

The duo drove into town in their red 1965 Stringray Corvette.

"I’ve had it for about eight years, I love it, it's really loud and obnoxious as hell, so I think it suits me," Ms Figgins said of the car.

"I've come all the way here from Perth."

The women said they loved getting dressed up for the event, but said it does take some time.

“It took us an hour this morning, but it would have been quicker if we could’ve decided what to wear,” Ms Trejbal said.

Also from Queensland for the Festival Markets was Russell Perry who was busy manning his stall - Funky Faeries.

“I’ve come from Bribie Island for this for the third year running,” he said.

The Festival Markets continue each day until Sunday in Cooke Park. Entry is free.
