Elvis Costello Fan Forum

At about 58 minutes into Steve Nieve's recent show on Facebook, with Elvis guesting, Muriel mentions that Sebastian Krys is watching. It prompts Elvis to drop some interesting hints about what seems to be ongoing sessions involving the Look Now producer. I imagine it's some kind of internet link up ...

Is Arlo McFurlow a real person or a new pseudonym (Arlo McFourlow is credited with Eamonn Singer for the lyric video)?

It seems likely its a new pseudonym.

Oddly enough Elvis getting a OBE may have been a contributory factor to these recordings happening. He got the medal at a ceremony in London on Feb. 14th. That was two weeks before the UK tour started on Feb. 28th. I gather these ceremonies are scheduled very far in advance. It would have been more ...

I love this screen grab from yesterday's show. They've really fine tuned the presentation. https://scontent-dub4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/100531168_10157522305682957_5761439147134812160_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_sid=dbeb18&_nc_oc=AQkgCdEaMr3xXyHX5Ew-sJAlASNHk5HAcQ0k2y0zgMZqre3vHwgBQuVAhg4MyFtPGk0...

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...

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.

How do you play this? Dumb old guy can't figure it out. It seems that you have to take out a subscription. A comment says it can be done for a little as a fiver month.

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...
