Re: A Face In The Crowd: London 2024

Looks like you have to become a Young Vic member to get tickets now - otherwise wait till 19th. Think I’ll wait.

Re: Is Elvis teasing a new album on Twitter?

At the Ryman he said that he’d just recorded That’s Not The Part of Him You’re Leaving with Larkin Poe.

Bloody Norah!!! This was sensational. Simply one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to! Great vibe, great venue, great performances! Horns and Larkin Poe were both wonderful. My gast is truly flabbered! Excellent review in the Tennessean above says it all. PS Bumped into Elvis outside our hotel at ...

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton at Orpheum Theatre, New Orleans, LA, January 16, 2024

Elvis never ceases to amaze. I hadn’t looked at any of the other tour dates’ set lists before, as I like the surprise. To start with a new song like Town Called Riddle was very brave but it sounded very good. Then he followed it up with the three other unrecorded songs immediately after Radio Radio ...

I am going with the Fishfinger queen and we are taking the opportunity to do a little New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville tour. So also catching the EC Ryman show at the end, plus a night at the Grand Old Opry. Looking forward to it!!

Oh and not forgetting the NME competition gig at Clarendon Ballroom Hammersmith with Attractions Jan 80 - played 5ive Gears in Reverse. Elvis came out afterwards and chatted with the audience.
I could go on….

Re: London Meet Up - Saturday 21st October

Thanks to verbal for organising- it was a very enjoyable afternoon. And thanks to sulky for the gifts! Sorry that I had to leave early - I wasn’t aware that, being my first attendance, it was an all day session! It may have been my first but won’t be my last. Thanks again!

This was indeed another great concert. Blundered into the auditorium just before Elvis came on and who should we be sitting next to but John Foyle - what a nice surprise! Not met for quite a while. Steve again was absolutely superb. I was surprised how good ‘What is it that I need …’ was live. Joker...

Re: Elvis & Steve, Dublin (Eire), September 7, 2023

It was a great show indeed. Steve just impresses so much - easy to take him for granted but he was magnificent. Only disappointment was that he didn’t get (or wasn’t allowed) to use the huge organ with its 4045 pipes! Elvis also in good form in spite of one or two vocal glitches. Hope Sulky’s first ...

I’m heading off to Holyhead later to cross the Irish Sea with the Fishfinger Queen for this. Good decision in view of lack of UK dates. Who’s going?

Re: Elvis & The Imposters with Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets, Arizona Financial Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, June 18, 2023

I agree with both Verbal and Psc - prefer more short songs. Let’s keep the punk spirit going- extended solos with musicianship for its own sake is not my cup of tea. Part of the reason I loved Elvis in the first place were the succinct punchy tunes.

Very bad luck. Having met you in New York I’m sure the answer is yes - you should plan another trip next year. Giving in to one’s whims and crackpot plans is always the best thing to do, isn’t it!!!?? I’d be up for it if tickets become available!!
Already booked Dublin & Oslo.
