Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Michael Weston King posts today on Facebook- It’s been a while since we (My Darling Clementine) were last in the studio and in all honesty I had a certain amount of trepidation about returning So, our humble thanks to Steve Nieve, Colin Elliot, Shez Sheridan and Dean Beresford for making the time u...

I think the 1980 tour of the Uk is probably the least well documented of all his UK tours and it's fantastic that we've got at least four people who have witnessed that tour, Goon Squad at Canvey Island , CTB at Southport, Hawksmoor at Colwyn Bay and Offshoreram at Peterborough - in 6 months time y...

Actually he seemed quite decent about it. Of course I will be amazed if he turns up but he didn't dismiss it out of hand.

Looking good for a UK tour. About time. I will let you know what gig I book as the two I picked last year were cancelled

looks like next year if at all. Perhaps we may get a xmas show but I doubt it

Following the Nick Lowe gig on Thursday I had a sleep on the sofa so as not too wake her ladyship when I was woken from my slumber about 3am Friday morning to what I thought was someone singing a bad karaoke version of Oliver's army. When I came fully round it turned out to be 6 music's live hour an...

One of the facebook friends put Elvis's name forward

Standing room only on the first balcony VG. The crowd up there were probably people who didn't want to stand. I forgot to mention Will Birch was in the bar upstairs and he was also had the Bruce Thomas/ Derek Philpott signing a few of us went to. The bar was quite star studded we were sitting beside...

I can confirm I have asked Bruce and he said has a bit of tooing and froing with family but if he can make it he will

https://twitter.com/meninblazers/status/1034192980456955904?lang=en-gb There are some people out there with worse senses of puns than the members here - especially with a goalkeeper called Allison ( misspelt you see). No doubt EC will be crying into his beer by June 2nd. As a Gooner its the sort of...

Looks like the female fans might outnumber the men for the first time in the meet ups that I have attended.

Mrs Sheep, Paulina, Janice, Clare and Susan are saying they will all attend.

Ian was there I know they did a tribute to Mark Hollis and sang its my life

This is very good news and just in time for my birthday

My personal favourite year in music

Maybe its just me but I think Steve is looking good for his age

Listening to talksport yesterday afternoon, they had a band on there called The Amazons. when asked about their influences one of the band said 'his dad always played Pink Floyd, Led zep and the Beatles whilst his mum always listened to Elvis Costello and Luther Vandross all the greats'

My copy has arrived but not without a palaver. The postman couldn't fit it through the letter box so i got the card to go and collect it. When i got there they told me it had been collected the day before. After about 30 minutes searching around they said they think they might have given my record t...

I managed to get a copy via amazon with a voucher I had. Sadly I will have to wait for it it to be delivered

I have checked my local store they are not selling it. Thanks Elvis forget the UK

David Hepworth's new book Fabulous Creation about the rise and fall of the Long Player, opens the chapter on 1979 with the intro to accidents will happen. He talks a bit about Armed Forces. Elvis does get a couple of mentions previously in the book too.

This has really pissed me off. I am going to buy some bootlegs just to spite him

I bought a CD of what i believe is the full concert on Amazon. But I did check the other day and it isn't available at the moment. Which of course is of no use to you. I think it is called Elvis Costello Live and was great quality I am sure other here must have it too. Perhaps it is on ebay

VG I think Elvis was also the first person to play The Specials on the radio. I remember him playing gangsters on roundtable saying 'here a record I just bought today'

I am on the Facebook page for this show. Amazing there was a woman on there named Alison who said she didn't know there was a song named after her. Amazing to think there is a person of a certain age who had never heard Alison. Sunday amazingly there was two Elvis songs on UK radio Alison on this sh...

a friend of mine told me the other day the lead singer of Costello sound-alikes The Jags is now living as a woman.
