Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
RIP Gerry Marsden. I have a live recording of EC singing Ferry Cross the Mersey / Tiny Steps. I am sure Top Balcony or Sulky can tell me which show it was!!

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
A friend of mine just sent me a message saying he had bought Spike and Mighty Like Rose in a charity shop for 50p each. He had never heard them before but so far he had enjoyed "a song about God and something about chewing gum" - he was half way through Spike. I was almost jealous of him h...

Re: New album Hey Clockface will be released October 30, 2020
The merchandising has gone a bit mad. Mind you, I am sure Sulky, Verbal or T. Balcony could do with a Clockface pencil case!

All is fine in MikeH towers, too. Working for the local authority and dealing with social care we are busier than ever and working from home.

Re: New release based on one of Elvis Costello and the Attractions most celebrated albums!!
Could it be a classic album together with live versions from different years? So a live version of the album. Has that been done before?

Re: Elvis and The Imposters, Nottingham (England), June 15, 2018
Great to meet up with Sulky and Sulky jr. How that young man resisted the Elvis tea towel is beyond me. Great show and the backing singers were thrilling. Funnily enough, She was a highlight for me along with Clubland and Tears.

I went to see Al Stewart last night with Tim Renwick on guitar. Tim is connected tenuously to the EC story having been in Quiver with Bruce, in Steve Nieve & the Playboys (the house band on the Jonathan Ross chat show) and he played on the Attractions album Mad About the Wrong Boy. Bruce also pl...
