Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Looking up Conway St in the search engine for this forum I see I missed this - The obituary , by Spencer Leigh, refers to this interview he did with Ross in the 2001- Ross MacManus - Elvis' Dad BBC Radio Merseyside's Spencer Leigh has interviewed Elvis Costello's father, the dance band singer Ross M...

A few of my snaps from a rainy, cold Birkenhead , March 2020. It hasn't changed much since 2005. https://scontent-dub4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/89259533_10157254532012957_2485218684788801536_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_oc=AQk8BCo7Dcnjlaepo1V8kX32bokVZybdNMBKwftG_8LzoWmRkqcoPX7YrxyA_m...

Long-time favourite Alison morphs into the Motown hit I’m Gonna Make You Love Me while Pump It Up – written on a fire escape at the old Swallow Hotel in Newcastle, pop fans – gets the Empire jumping.

I visited the site again today . The building is still unused. However, information at this site, that is new to me , says it was opened in 1959, years after Elvis's christening. https://taking-stock.org.uk/building/birkenhead-holy-cross/ (extract) 'The parish of Holy Cross was formed in 1928 with t...

Brilliant, thanks. I'm now on the bus from the airport.

I'm going to be in Liverpool for the day on Sunday, before traveling on to Blackpool on Monday morning for Elvis's show that night.

I'm hoping to revisit some of the locations I last saw all of fifteen years ago and will , of course , report back here.

Elvis on the 'phone. About 10 minutes of taped chat , with extracts from the usual 70s/80s songs . Nothing really new. Non- committal comments on Brexit/Trump, which has prompted a hostile tweet from a keyboard warrior. The chat goes into a full play of Shipbuilding, without a sign off comment , and...

I've already booked for films that evening in the Dublin Film Festival. I saw and enjoyed Dave do this routine in the Vinyl festival here in Kilmainham, Dublin in 2018. By the way the venue in Kilmainham was in the old Royal Hospital. The same hospital that Elvis's grandfather recovered in after bei...

“I haven’t counted how many songs [we know] but I know I’ve just sent a list of another ten to everybody to consider that we maybe listen to and think about how we would play that can make the combinations a little bit more unique for this UK run.
