Elvis Costello Fan Forum

So long as Julie Walters doesn’t sing it in her “Dudley” accent

Ticket now sold - to a worthy recipient !!

An entirely different ( and trite) interview compared to the Big Issue one !

Hey Neil, don't you think the Imposters might be a bit too "rocky" for PFM V2 - I'd rather have Burt's orchestrations and Steve's piano in this instance and the new Imposters album being like Momofuku ! And yes, you're right about Lovable - I hadn't absorbed those lyrics like I probably sh...

Doesn't "Lovable" qualify even if it is, as best, one of his slightest songs ?

I notice no mention of vocal ability comes into the reckoning VG !

Hawksmoor wrote I think this is a lovely interview, and makes me like Elvis (as a person) more than I have for a long time. I've always believed (and still do) that he is the single greatest performer/singer-songwriter of our generation, but everything I had seen, heard or read, for decades now real...

My son has decided he wanted to join me for this Nottingham concert ( on a Friday night) so I've had to get 2 tickets together and my solo seat is now available, row K, cost price no booking fees etc ! Also, if anyone has a spare ticket for Newcastle which isn't going to strain my eyesight beyond re...

Doc wrote The intro to Waiting For The End of The World and the intro to Big Tears have a very similar structure. In a good way, of course. Before the Roundhouse gig in 2016 a few of us forum members were predicting what the first song would be - I boldly stated it would be WFTEOW and when the band ...

Whilst the "two for one" doesn't bode well in terms of overall sales, at least it suggests Elvis will have recovered enough to perform at all the other shows. By the way, anyone got a decent Newcastle ticket -I may be forced to go to the balcony with my lapels looking at current seating av...

so the next trip is Penzance and Plymouth for gig sites and a sewage works - no change there then ?

VG wrote : Wow - this is amazing stuff. I was kind of hoping you’d report that somebody recorded the wedding reception gig, had it in their attic and wondered if you would like it as it was only gathering dust and they had no need for it anymore As if we'd tell you lot, if this was the case :roll: !

The reassuring comment for me is that Elvis says he wants it as an EC and The Imposters album which hopefully means he won't be using any of the "musical" songs on this !!

Only the way you sing them, Neil
So what are the other 474 lists then ? I’m not admitting to any OCD behaviour, just look on certain torrent sites !

Nothing like keeping it secret on a fan forum - I'm sure Mrs Sulky wouldn't think of looking here

I'm Ok, she only knows the Amazon website !!

Forgot about Southend, how could I do that ? !! Mrs.Sulky (holder of the keys to the exchequer) is only vaguely aware of these plans currently and I will act all surprised when the time comes and say " but I told you back in March that i was doing these !!" and " but I was bought an e...

Still no sign of a London gig - quite surprising, especially considering there might be a new album to promote though I guess the album, tour promotion thing is so old hat now :roll: The Dublin trip appears to be off but I'm doing Nottingham, Manchester, Plymouth, Cardiff and Edinburgh - just got a ...

This one at the correct pitch is on a well known torrent site !

I frequently imagine Kirsty Young closing her eyes in rapture - but only in my dreams

No musical adventures of note since "Veronica" then according to this review - ho hum, !

Recording of this now available with correct pitch etc !!!

Apart from getting in at the very start , all the decent seats have really disappeared. I was supposed to be working on the Cardiff date but my boss offered to cover the last 4 hours so I could go but the best seats are some way back abs the same price as front rower ones on the second tier of stall...

Oh no, now I’m going to hear some banal squawking over some of my favourite Costello tracks !!
At least there’ll be some decent backing vocals from Davey and the girls though

Once I've sorted out my "DAD" issues, should be a recording surfacing there !

Exactly and I for one have heard some of those anecdotes more than enough times !!
