Re: Elvis & The Imposters play the Love Supreme Festival, Glynde Place, East Sussex , England , June 30 2018

Re: Elvis plays Sheffield 20 March 2017

Good evening alright, worth the trek. Nearly didn't make it since a tooth extraction last Thursday turned into a dry socket situation. Been tripping on pain killers since, still am. Nurofen just about made me ship shape for the beautiful Sheffield City Hall. Nice 2nd row seat after the divide from t...

Re: Book promo, Austin, Texas, 20 October 2015 - Rusty reunion !

Re: UNFAITHFUL MUSIC & DISAPPEARING INK - Oct. 2015

Enjoyed the book, he tells a good yarn. Now that he's got it out of his system it would be nice if he went back to something he's really good at, making rock music. Was privileged to see one of Davey Faraghers recent shows with Richard Thompson. Great stripped down trio stuff, lead, bass & drums...

Re: Elvis, solo, Glasgow June 11th 2015
