Jack featured in new film-documentary


October 2007: Jack is featured in a new documentary film about whether or not Elvis is still alive!

The Truth About Elvis is a documentary that explores all sides of the myth that Elvis is alive. This is the first feature film to examine the myth seriously and objectively. The hoaxing of Elvis Presley’s death is the biggest myth in the history of pop culture. Does it have any merit? What are the facts behind it? Why has this myth survived for so many years? What do Elvis Presley’s closest friends think about the myth that Elvis is alive?

The film features interviews with authors, experts, reporters, doctors, conspiracy theorists and people that were close to Elvis. Many of their stories have never been told before.

Message from a fan in Florida!



Hi John

Formerly from Abbey Road, in Basingstoke and now living in Davenport in Florida, we have just come home from an evening watching Jack Smink at the Stage Door in Kissimmee.

We have watched Jack on numerous occasions in Florida over the past 4 years and it just gets better. Very talented, great sense of humour and well worth the admission price.

Go get em' Jack - good luck with your UK tour and say "hi" to Basingstoke for us!

Bev & Dave Moore - Florida!

Jack at The Academy Basingstoke - February 2007


I have to tell you that, if you missed seeing Jack at one of his February '07 UK tour venues, then you missed something really special.


Boy, was he on top form. As the years go by, so Jack's energy and enthusiasm just goes on and on, engulfing the audience in such passion for the music of Elvis and Jack's endless talent.


I saw him at The Academy, Basingstoke on Saturday 3rd February along with a packed house. His show started at 9pm but there were still queues at 10pm for his second set as people had come from all over the area having heard him live on Kestrel FM earlier that day.


The audience were wowed! I am a great fan of Jack Smink but I cannot tire of seeing his unique tribute to the King. Given that his other venues were sell-out events his drawing power is enormous.


We were treated to his new song, recorded with The Jordinaires and the audience absolutely loved it. I heard one group arguing over whether or not it was Elvis or Jack singing on the record!


Sadly, his lovely wife Karen could not accompany him on this trip but we hope that Jack will soon come back to the UK and maybe bring her too.


Jack - "thank you so much".
