Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Elvis was there but didn't perform.
I wasn't but a friend was who said Ian Prowse was very good.
Support was Nasher from Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Ah, restricted views, the bane of my life! Once upon a time I would have been able to wave to you from the opposite Row B behind the camera position. These not 3 o'clock on Saturday days I'm an irregular visitor, second to back row of the Lower Bullens last time, ball could be going into orbit for a...

Ian Prowse announced as support: @IanProwse: Probably the most excited I’ve been in 28 years of releasing records. Taking our 3 piece line up on the road with the legendary @ElvisCostello Gonna kick the UK’s arse! Tickets on sale now: https://tour.elviscostello.com/ https://twitter.com/IanProwse/sta...

Knotty Ash is in the West Derby area of Liverpool and the Olympia is on West Derby Rd! Eh? All that sitting up in the nosebleeds watching subbuteo men has confused your geography!* Unless you're going to get all historical and say Knotty Ash is in the West Derby Hundred (see wikipedia for more deta...

Jeez, £10.10 PER TICKET service charges and facility fees is taking the piss more than a reissue with a previously unreleased bonus track.




Of course I've paid it

River in Reverse - I've never liked it, many do.

So, do all these #justtrust2020 tweets mean a Trust based tour next year?
Here's hoping!

Imperial Bedroom
King of America
Trust
Momofuku
The Delivery Man

Not everyone had a bad Amazon experience. My copy turned up right on time Friday as promised. First impressions? More Painted From Memory than Imperial Bedroom, but thankfully not exactly like either (they are two of my favourites, but we never want same again from our man, do we?). At times, it fe...

The S*N tweeted an article to which Elvis replied "Typical “S*N” laziness. People who can’t write for people who can’t think. Don’t need your sympathy. Tell that to the 96 @elviscostello" I presume Elvis's issue is that said rag has headlined the story in a way that suggests Elvis is 'bat...

Apparently full refunds inc booking fee will be available from Sounds of the City official outlet/point of purchase.

He's tweeted that full explanation will be given after tomorrow's show in Amsterdam.
Hope things are not too serious.

Now all I have to hope for is that Elvis's voice is back on song!

Not wanting to get to ahead of things, but I hope there is a contingency plan should a clash with an important football match arise. Are England due to play anyone that night f they get that far? I am sure I cant be the only one who watched Elvis play with the Sugarcanes in Hyde Park at the same ti...

I've seen a few things at the Castlefield Bowl and I think it's not a bad outdoor venue and doesn't feel like it has an 8,000 capacity. Sound has been good, easy to see the stage, plenty of good food and drink places nearby.

No comfy seats though!

From 'No particular place' onwards this was top drawer.

"Like you've all come round to my house to hear some new songs"

Well that was rather wonderful. I was slightly worried that it might end up as a 'Detour with band' night, but no, definitely no. [Don't get me wrong I loved the Detour shows] Sound was a bit echoey from where I was to start but hit the spot from 'Flutter and Wow' onward - in fact a lot of the eveni...

Absolutely wonderful, brings a smile to my face hearing these tracks and not understanding a word of them.

Erich's XTC covers are also pretty entertaining too.

This was on Sky Arts last night!

I only know as I've got Live from the Artists Den on series record, though the "series" is pretty sporadic. What I saw was good, but the bloody YouView box only managed to record half of it

All the clips seem to be at Erics in Liverpool.

If you have a talktalk YouView box you get Sky Arts for free.

Late goal for Morton today

My Elvis watching over the years has usually been when he plays Liverpool or Manchester. I was at the recent (Manchester) Bridgewater Hall gig, somewhere he has played some excellent gigs before (though I must admit the John Harle in 1996 one was er, difficult!). I think one of the factors in him pl...
