Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
The " Just Trust Thursday Clues" so far : In addition to the Hammersmith / Harlem pair, EC has posted a picture of a fabulous looking Sunderland Empire, and "Crumpstall's Finest" ie Freddie Garitey of Freddie and the Dreamers. So guess I'll be going to Mudchester in February, whe...

I sure do, that's a great memory, and a great souvenir.

Colywn Bay : Clive Langer and the Boxes supporting. yeah supporting the next night in Southport too. Obviously decades ago now, but I think I was a bit disappointed with Clive and his band.

Nothing obscure about Goodison, but I don't think EC has ever actually played the home of English football
In 1980 I saw the epic gig at Southport's Floral Hall, a repeat would be most welcome.

Re: Elvis Costello OBE
I was gobsmacked this morning as EC's face loomed out of my Guardian newspaper amongst the newly named recipients of 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours. Elvis when you least expect it! Good to read his 'explanation', good to see he still listens to his Mum, given the critical words he has uttered in the ...

Re: EC on soundtrack from The Souvenir
Spotify lists 8 tracks : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4201B ... NGdZ5474fH
So I guess the piece above seems to refer to Robert Wyatt's original version of Shipbuilding, rather than EC.

Sulky
This seems to have been quite a different show to the epic one Steve played to open the Music Room at Liverpool's Phil in 2015, am I right?
Sorry I couldn't make it.

Re: Relatively Insignificant EC Stuff. . .
Ok , right said Fred.
" We Oughta be Ashamed"
But you have to remember that we're having to find things to do whilst whiling away the days (weeks/months/years) waiting for an announcement of an EC tour of the UK. Hence more of this 'humour' is at least a possibility .

Re: They call her Natasha
This is great news!
I really hope that "Elsie" tours to promote this in the UK (and doesn't just hook up with Blondie in the US like her alter ego)!
Thanks for the update MooT

Re: Elvis opening for Neil Young, Vancouver, May 14 & 15, 2019
Yes he was in Liverpool. Snapped in 81 Renshaw St a v.small indie record store.
I assume he was also checking on progress of Face in the Crowd at the Royal Court.
Sulky, he did come to mine, but I was out on the allotment. It's a plot
