I agree Arnie, I think he left the best till last.

Available in the UK now. Just had it blasting from my desk.

I quite like Spotify actually. It was good for parties back in the days when we could gather.
It’s a shame When I Was Cruel is missing for some reason.

So I didn’t dream this. Hoover Factory from Swap Shop way back when!

Sulky, tempted as I am to your solution - much more than the likely outcome - I feel it's too simplistic approach. Clearly to be awarded the big prize there needs to be a range of factors taken into consideration. I truly believe that any club which can satisfy all these tests truly deserves to be ...

That’s a beautiful photograph of Elvis and his Mum. She looks a youthful ninety something.

That set list isn’t right I’m sure. Getting Mighty Crowded was much later and he definitely sang Flutter and Wow.
Hopefully someone (Sulky maybe) took notes?

Some missing off that list. Getting Mighty Crowded :D Unwanted Number Mr and Mrs Hush Flutter and Wow Great to see everyone. Quick thoughts. Elvis really struggles with some songs now. Shipbuilding was not good. Mostly great though. More enjoyable once girls moved to the front. From A Whisper To A S...

Hi Colin
Can you pm me your mobile number? The one I have must be out of date.

Thanks Neil.

Crikey, the reviews don’t look great about this venue. Anyone been?

Well done Elvis.

It’s been a good day for the roses.

It’s a shame Steve couldn’t make it. I thought he was looking particularly well when I first saw the photographs!

Our Liverpool tickets have arrived. We’re both quite short so if Colin sticks with us he’ll be fine!

And here it is (a little out of sync or bad miming?)

Just bought tickets for Liverpool for me and Mrs. John. In Colin’s “bearpit”.
Not gone for the Top Balcony, Top Balcony?

Our man currently at Anfield. 17:21 Elvis is in the building Phil McNulty BBC Sport chief football writer at Anfield Elvis Costello is near the Anfield technical area posing for selfies with Liverpool fans. Obviously didn't want to go to Chelsea. *One for the older generation. What a terrible way to...

Great to see this site back up and running. Many thanks to everyone involved.

It seems like Elvis has to actually appear on shows to get his records played - Radios 4, 5 and 6 recently and BBC Radios 2 and Manchester today.

At least it is album of the day on Radio 6.

Look Now is currently number 4 in the Amazon UK CD and Vinyl album chart.

Looks like radio 2 has missed out on making Elvis album of the week again. That honour goes to Jess Glynne. I personally love the album I think its his best record in years Radio 2 aren't playing any new Elvis songs at all - Unwanted Number was played 3 times a few weeks ago. I think he must have u...

Sad. I lost my dad at 15 (‘84) and my mother passed away on 8/25/18. I’m devastated. On top of that, My mother’s sister (Aunt) just passed this week. And if not to feel lower than ever, my employer issued me a PIP one month after my mother’s death. My life is in a bad state now. Thank goodness I’ll...

My 2 CD set is apparently on the way (from HMV). Can’t wait.

Perfectly put Sulky. I second that.

Do we know when this will be broadcast?

Jeremy Vine, a big fan, plays Unwanted Number here from 32:41. Sounds great here. Probably better quality than Spotify etc.
