Elvis Costello Fan Forum

That was a great evening. I thought that the band took a while to hit top gear, but when they did, wow. It was a very political set of songs, very in keeping with these uncertain times. I wonder whether Elvis deliberately played a fairly flat Oliver's Army after that awesome Bedlam. On a side note, ...

Sid Griffin too. That will be a quality evening.

I have the audiobook, but I'm saving it for later.

I got my copy free by signing up for a one month free trial with Audible.

I'll be there, row A.

Lots of seats left.

Was it George in his Northern Ireland kit?

In a leather coat, but the NI kit was the joke.

I'll be there. Hope it is as good as Harrogate.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. It washed away the memory of the Albert Hall last October.

After the Fall, Harry Worth and a gorgeous Stella Hurt.

Hope this works. I've no idea how to embed the images.

And you've probably had the subsequent email that says that there won't be.

I am.

And Manchester and Nottingham.

Busy week ahead.

These Pre sales are a joke There is no way that EC has sold all the tickets back to the rear circle blocks J & K at A gaff like Harrogate They can p__s off with there pre sale tickets I left them all until tomorrow. I bagged row G in Manchester direct from the venue, because I'm on their list. ...

For all of the confusing marketing, it has made it to number 63 in the UK album chart.

Mrs Pars and myself are going.Will be celebrating our wedding anniversary on the day of the gig.Got tickets in the centre circle Row G.Last saw EC at this venue on the "North" tour although I don't recall much about the concert save for a moving version of "Still" and spotting A...

I spent a marvelous evening with Miles Hunt and Erica Nockall playing Wonderstuff stuff in the Greystones in Sheffield. They were brilliant. The venue is a gem. It is just a backstreet pub, with a concert room at the rear. I've tickets to see Ben Watt and Glen Tilbrook in the same place fairly soon....

I've just paid the best part of £200 for four tickets in the Gods. I went to my computer several times, put tickets in the basket and then rejected them on the grounds of price. £130 for front stalls is outrageous. In the end, I opted for the cheap seats, which turned out to be the same price as the...

A bargain at £1.99 on itunes UK.

Does he get up again?


... or was that someone else?

Here's a review of a different sort: 9Y6d12npW5c Was it Tripwire made you choke a bit, Poor Dep, among other moments. Who would vote it best song on the album? Tripwire is lovely. And it will likely be the one song that escapes the Roots treatment to make it onto an Elvis live set. My favourite tra...

I received my vinyl copy of WUG this afternoon. I gave it a spin tonight and it is very lovely indeed. Inspired by that, I've just dug out Blood and Chocolate. There isn't much comparison really. I Want You is playing as I type. It is far superior to anything on WUG. A good new album, but still haun...

In general for artists of such longevity, stature and reputation isn't the key thing always going to be people turning up at their shows over new record sales ? I would expect this in 99% of cases and can\'t believe Elvis would be any different. I agree with that. Having listened to WIG a few times...

My amazon now-uk order for about £17 Deluxe version CD with extra tracks is still on order. I know that I should cancel it, but despite my preference for super Elvis Costello I am still holding-out to buy it/listen twice.

I think that is fair to say that they nailed it
