Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Am I the only one who thinks Lou sounds a bit like Olivia Newton-John?

In the late 70's Capital Radio used to have music awards. Elton won best male singer but said Elvis should have won it.

Elvis and Diana married at Elton's house I think

Turned out to be a really great evening.

Row V see you there

Watching Quadrophenia night on sky arts on Saturday night. They were talking about how the punk rock attitude was significant in the making of the film. Trevor Laird who played who played Ferdy in the film said 'he didn't like punk rock apart from The Clash who eventually made some great music, The ...

The extended version of Walk us uptown is great imo.

Probably just Hammersmith for me this time around

I was saying that this morning on the new whats app group I think they are imminent. Lets hope so

The album I just don't seem to get on with is Secret, Profane and Sugarcane. EC doing bluegrass sounds a great idea in theory but it just doesn't work for me. Clumsy title too - unusual for Elvis. I guess to be Marmite then someone needs to love it - not so sure about that! PS I love Marmite and gr...

I think North would qualify as a 'Marmite' project. I know from conversations on Facebook it seems to divide the fans. Personally speaking I absolutely love both The Juliet Letters and North. For what its worth I love Marmite too

I would like to see this on maybe the Friday or the Saturday. I will see what day Maura wants to go, if of course she does want to go.

Didn't Barry Evans have an awful death? I think he was murdered. He was a big star on TV in the late 60's early 70's

Sulky it only slightly softened the blow of my team getting beat by Crystal bloody palace

I’m glad my boys decided NOT to spoil your day by scoring 4 in the last ten minutes

so was I. I had a small wager on LIverpoo 3 Arsenal 1 at 10-1

I'm sort of hoping the cancelled gigs from last year will make an appearance so this Thursday a picture of the statue of Francis Drake ( for Plymouth) please and a seagull shitting on someone's head for Southend ( sorry Sheep !! :wink: ) , thanks Elvis ! or he could show the video released on socia...

A great day with lovely people.

Just to confirm the tables are booked under my name (Steve not sheep) I think its unlikely Bruce will show but he did meet up with Susan and Clare yesterday top man

Bruce made that album with Spencer Brown a year or two ago. It seems he maybe doing more writing as hid Tyson Fury book followed his Man United book pretty quickly.


I will book the tables at the pub for us early next week

I am guessing while they are still playing the Look Now album the BV's are a regular thing. I have not seen them in the UK as the dates I was due to see last year were cancelled due to his health scare. I have seen Elvis open with Pump it up. One tour he used to play a noisy solo version to start th...

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
