Not at The Sage in Gateshead this time, but across the Tyne at Newcastle City Hall. Elvis last played there (with The Imposters) in 2002.

Seu Jorge is also on the bill. According to the festival website (translated from Spanish): "Jorge Mário da Silva was born in 1970 in Belford Roxo in Rio de Janeiro, and soon he already knew that he wanted to be a musician. He went through various jobs since he was 10 years old, was a frequente...

It’ll be interesting to see which of the songs are not ones we have assumed to be for Face in the Crowd This led me to the Wiki, of course and the Category: Unreleased Songs . I think there are four categories of song that might appear and then some other "one-offs" that together might ma...

The marketing for the Nocturne Live concert is currently in full swing. This turned up in an inbox this morning, based on an algorithm somewhere knowing that I was likely to be interested in purchasing a ticket.

Of more importance, it raises the possibility of UK dates, although from the dates confirmed so far it could show the worrying signs that Elvis is becoming a festival act. He does seem to be planning a series of mostly festival dates. This might be because whilst his tour manager, Chris, is unwell,...

Has this Clover album been released yet, or is there a date for it to be released? All seems to have gone quiet since the summer.

This makes me wonder how EC would be in a comedy series. He did have a small, mostly non-speaking part (Henry Scully), in Alan Bleasdale's 1984 comedy series "Scully": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085089/fullcredits I cannot say it was the best use of his talents (IMHO). MOOT

that venue looks as if it has the potential to be really shit. I have never been to the venue either, however, there are at least three drawbacks I can see. i) Elvis is sharing the billing with Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, who have their fans too. If they go on first, those fans are potentially g...
