Bastard. Why can't he be on AFTER I've finished my exams!??!?!

Cheers for the info, but may have to pass on the offer. I have the whole of the Middle Ages to revise that afternoon!

You'll be able to hear it afterwards on the "Listen again" button on the Radio 2 website!

I'm 'listening again' now . The 'skip on 15 minutes' function doesn't seem to be working so I have to listen to the whole show .

- seems to indicate that Elvis will not be on until the end of the three hour programme. Considering how awful Wright's 'Smashy 'n Nicey' presentation 'style' is I'm doubting if I'll make it that far............

The Elvis and Allen part is about 2 hours 15 minutes in the show.

There was good news and bad news: the good news is that Allen will arrange some of Elvis' songs for their upcoming tour. The bad news is that they problably won't be touring Europe this year (they need the European festival season to tour - because they have an expensive line-up), but Elvis hopes to come to Europe next year!
