Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I know from reading many of the posts that lots of you have a wide range of musical tastes. I find that over recent years, I listen to Elvis to the exclusion of almost any other music. Whatever sort of mood I am in there seems to be one of his albums that is just right for the occasion. About the on...

WhipsnSpurs,thought you might like to know that according to a radio interview that Elvis did last year, he used to have shared ownership in a racehorse called Stonehenge.

I didn't think it was included and just double checked with my husband who particularly likes that song and would have remembered it. I have been playing North in the car today. I wasn't that keen o...

Not long been back from the Manchester concert. It was brilliant with a great mixture of songs. Elvis was in fine voice and the professor was superb. Elvis made a brave attempt at playing the piano. Not exactly his forte but entertaining nonetheless. One of the highlights for me was Shot With His Ow...

Or playing tennis in his Simpson's outfit?

I think Plaything is correct in saying that EC lived in West Derby. I used to live there myself many years ago. I seem to recall hearing somewhere that the house with the Monkey Puzzle tree in the garden on the inside cover of Armed Forces was in Whinfell Road in the Sandfield Park area of West Derb...
