Re: Elvis, solo, plays Harrogate, UK, June 6, 2015

I'm pretty sure without looking at the wiki that Elvis did both of those in Cardiff in 1984 where I was transfixed by the clarity and range of his voice and being able to hear the words properly for the first time !! I'll be at Harrogate for my first time (please try and keep locals under control Mi...

Re: Elvis, solo, plays Birmingham, UK May 31 2015

Rather a good night,I must say ! A stunning I Want You and Blackberry Way as a homage to local lad Roy Wood on piano. Voice was the best I've heard for a while and no doubt MOOT will publish the complete set list shortly. The printed set list had a few songs as always that he didn't play but it was ...

Not sure if the locals will appreciate me being there with a Gooner shirt on and a very large number 4 but I will have my lapels present and correct. It's pouring with rain here, took 5 and a bit hours to get to Birmingham from Tavistock. ( usual time about 2 hours less) due to the end of half term ...

Re: Chalkie Davies photo exhibition, Wales, May 2015

St David's Hall, Cardiff has always been one of my favourite places to see EC (solo 1984 is one of my favourite gigs). Surprised to find you couldn't get much from local papers re the shows/ Where did Chalkie take the picture of Elvis in his thrift store suit ? Sounds like a great exhibition!

Re: Trying to get to Davidstow, Cornwall on the EC Heritage Trail

I've spoken to a local and there really isn't much at Davidstowe apart from the nationally famous creamery ( where they make Davidstowe cheddar) and a runway ?!! Apparently there was some sort of aerodrome there during the second world war but I don't believe there's much left to see now. It's a few...

Mortified to say I was never at Southend in 2013 ( except in spirit) . At Cardiff in 2013 Pete came out before the show and asked me and MOOT if we'd seen his cousin - as if we were likely to know who that was :shock: They're both great guys always ready to exchange words and chat - along with Steve...

My train company has apologised to those passengers originally booked for this train for the problems all us extra passengers have caused by joining unexpectedly , still it's not been too bad a journey and soon we'll all be talking rubbish about EC except MOOT !

Re: London Meet Up - Saturday 25th April

Obviously had a curse put on my journey. My train is broken and I'm still stranded in Plymouth. I had a seat booked next to the window on the side closest to the sea on the wY up too - I 'll see you all whenever I eventually get there, especially as I'm loaded with CDs!!
