The interviewer has told me via a private message via Twitter- 'the full interview will be in UK newspapers and on some websites over next day or two'.

Tangential EC ( if that isn't a thing it is now) Elvis once said that one reason he embraced a 'soul' sound for Get Happy!! was because the Attraction's 'pop' sound was becoming a cliche, even getting cloned by acts like The Jags , particularly with their single Back Of My Hand . Irish band The Fanz...

From that NYT link - A similarly inventive approach guided Elvis Costello in his jazz-inflected reimagining of the poem, “I’ll Still Love You.” “I looked at the lyric and, before I could stifle the thought, the melody appeared in my head,” Mr. Costello wrote in an email. “I left Steve Berkowitz sitt...

Steve just posted on Facebook - I just had the honour to play keyboards in rehearsal with the legendary "The Mahotella Queens". These ladies voices are incredible. The epic concert with David Coulter and the Revisitors, with Peaches, with Winston MCAnuff, with Patrick Wolf, with Nadine Sha...

Anton Corbijn's photo of Elvis , taken in a hotel room in Amsterdam in September 1977 , has been used extensively, including the cover of Elvis's book. Flicking through a copy of the ECIS fanzine from 1988 I happened on this additional photo from the same session , used as a page filler. I can't fin...

WOW! It's only taken 40 years but at last the first known photo of Elvis and The Attractions in Dublin on March 16th 1978 has appeared. Taken by Adrian Fingleton , he posted in response to a tweet I posted over the weekend. Even better he says he may have more . https://twitter.com/adrianfingleton/s...

I saw Chris Difford doing a enjoyable solo show last week here in Dublin. Part of the show was a onstage interview about his recent memoir. Afterwards , while selling and signing copies of the book, Dr J (one time regular poster here) asked Chris what he thought of Elvis releasing this recording. It...

Sturgill Simpson always puts on a great show. I guess he has a higher profile here in Europe than in the U.S.. Or maybe that's changing , given his billing above Elvis in this lineup. I first saw him supporting Laura Cantrell at Whelans in early 2014. That was a solo show but he was back there with...
