Re: The Boy Named If, new album by Elvis & The Imposters, January 14, 2022

The only signed stuff I have is from when I’ve met him and the Imposters. It’s more personal - particularly on tickets or CDs or when I’ve managed to get a set list. Mind you I have had Elvis sign things personalised for friends. He asked me if I’m opening a shop! The only signed thing I have is my...

Re: New compilation / package, based on Painted From Memory, 2022

I was in the circle for the RFH show and I seem to remember the sound was awful where I was. I am not one of those who normally notices this things.

Been dying to get PFM on vinyl I nearly paid nearly £80 to have it imported the other week but thought maybe that was too high a price to pay.

Re: London meet up - Saturday 7th August - A cause for optimism

I am actually off work the two weeks leading up to the meet up, so my review might be out of date before we get there :D :D Lets just book it and be devils. The good news it looks like England will now be open well in time for the meet up. There is even some speculation we might be open on 5th July
