His exceptional vocal ability is instantly recognizable effortlessly performing Roy's songs in the original keys for those all important high notes.

Iain played the legend in 'The Concert they Never Gave' on several UK theatre tours for E&B productions (producers of 'Buddy' in the West End) and in 2005 Iain headlined on a massive outdoor show in Perth Australia backed by a 20 piece orchestra & supported by Pepsi's Voice of Elvis Johnny Earle.

terry G booked Iain Sparks for their event
“Iain was Fantastic at my Aunty's surprise Birthday Party last weekend! She is a big Roy Orbison fan and was delighted with Iain's rendition of Mr O's big numbers. In his second session, Iain demonstrated his range of talents performing the works of a number of artists including Carlos Santana (Black Magic Woman) and Mick Hucknell's "Holding back the Years" as well as some of his own writing (which was brilliant). Iain was a delight to have at our party, a great entertainer, a superlative performer and a lovely guy. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Iain.”
As the big 'O' your looks and voice were absolutely stunning!
Mel W booked Iain Sparks for their event
“Thankyou so much for making our special celebration party even more special. As the big 'O' your looks and voice were absolutely stunning! I've been fortunate enough to see the real Roy perform live, and he would have been well impressed, as we all were, with your tribute to him. Long may you continue in the business. Hope to see you perform again in the future. Best wishes to a true professional.”
