Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I don't kow about you, but my wife wouldn't allow me out of the house with some of EC's shirt & tie combinations.

I would love a copy of the Best of CD if you decide on the content!

Mrs Mike H said she might be interested!!! This will be the first time since she was deafened on the Brutal Youth tour. Mind you, I have had to endure Rod Stewart on several occasions so she owes me.

I must remember to find out when the European Cup Final is on before I book this time!

Sulky, you will have to start saving up again! I presume you are going to them all!

In Halifax Morrison's (supermarket) on Sunday they were playing The Beat over the sound system - which surprised me - then an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Could James Costello please go to Customer Services." Spooky huh?

If his wife looks like that, no wonder he spends so long on the road!

My favorite song has always been Clubland and I cannot even begin to explain why, I just love it!

Wasn't it Favourite Hour that was once played by Steve on the RAH organ? You are lucky to have seen a show with so many special guests. I was hoping for a local musician at the Nottingham show but maybe Paper Lace were busy that night.

"Essentially The Imposters are The Attractions with a different bassist. "

GULP! EC won't like that will he????

Outside the theatre in Nottingham was a signpost which read "City Centre and Attractions." Well it made me laugh anyway,

Great show last night, but what was it that Alfred Hitchock said about the length of a film being linked to the capacity of the human bladder? No one can last 3 hours after a few pints! Most impressive was the young man who chose Beyond Belief and sang along to every word in the go go cage! The solo...

Me too - and a trip to Fopp records is on the cards.

I wish Elvis would look at the football fixtures calendar before deciding his tour dates. I am going to the Nottingham gig and will miss the European Cup Final! This is not the first time one of his hows has coincided with a big football match!!

I have a copy of this CD for sale if anyone is interested??

I hope he drops A Slow Drag with Josephine by the time he reaches the UK. My least favourite EC song, alongside The Big Light!

I really didn't like EC at first, his early appearances on Top of the Pops and reports of 35 minute live sets did not impress me at all. It was when someone played me Fish N Chip Paper from the Trust album that I actually started listening to the lyrics. I started with that album and even now Clubla...

Lock up your daughters.

Have a great time!

This may take some time to write as I remember EC saying that he and BB argued long and hard over the space between "So" and "this house" when writing This House is Empty Now.

I would add any of the pictures from inside the North booklet

Yes - Cait was a guest on 24th as well, she came on to duet on Crimes of Paris.

Hello Ulster Boy, I was there the following night 24th. Solo show with the fantabulous world of travel, the eviction of a dissatisfied audience member, and a heartrending rendition of Please Stay which still stands out in my memory. Crikey, 25 years!?

Has EC put on a bit of weight? I thought he was looking TOO thin around the time of Spectacle series 2. Looks a bit better now.

Was that the Juliet Letters review that said there were "no tunes" on the album resulting in an angry letter from EC?

Am I the only one going to Nottingham? A visit to Fopp records in the afternoon, a swift orange juice at the Trip to Jerusalem pub (dates from 1100ish) and off to the show!

Harry, is this the one where EC says that Queen and all their fans should be swallowed up in a big hole in the ground? If so, I remember hearing it!
