Re: Elvis & The Imposters play Liverpool , July 11 2016
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, ...

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

Re: New Gig Thread
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....

Re: 2014 Wednesday Oct 29th LONDON, ENGLAND, Royal Albert Ha
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...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
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...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
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...

Re: New album for 2013: "Wise Up Ghost" (with The Roots!)
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...

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.
