Ah, of course it's Graham Nash
Grew up in Salford although born in Blackpool
Must be Manchester?

Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
With reference to walk softly, I thought about Tread Softly instead - there is a film from 1952 about a murder in a derelict theatre starring Frances Day which has a pretty awful review on line and also the line appears in a poem by W.B. Yeates (The Cloths Of Heaven) who we all know is a favourite of Elvis. Not quite sure if this is at all relevant but I can't think of any Hollies connection other than that and I'm not at all sure what the relevance of Wigan Pier is apart from the ongoing seaside references.
Anyway, if it's a Manchester ( Mudchester) concert at least I won't have any scallys singing along out of tune to Good Year For The Roses for a change !

Cool Colin....guess Wigan just might get the "DRUGS DON'T WORK" snippet reinserted to his Elvis Presley HITS OF YESTERYEAR segment...Top balcony wrote:Wigan Pier - clear reference to 'seaside' aspects of the tour -
I thought photo was of George Harrison, but a Twitter-er suggests it's Graham Nash, echoing the earlier clue that a show will feature in Mudchester

I can’t see him missing out Liverpool - unless his booker gets it wrong again and books Blackpool.

Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
Sad to say in recent years he seems to play either here or there, but not both - like Glasgow /Edinburgh I guess. Perhaps he feels he needs to repay after his cancellation of last year's Castlefields Bowl appearance?verbal gymnastics wrote:I can’t see him missing out Liverpool
I would be delighted to be wrong about this!

It is either Liverpool or Dodd's Green...

Usher Hall, Edinburgh, no doubt - means a good chance to meet Spirit Of Curiosity, Cocktail Murderess, Kjell, Nicola and any other secret pervs for a rendezvous at that nightclub !!
How exciting this is to see so many UK venues coming up
- nothing for the Republic yet John ? Maybe when hell freezes over again

Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
Hmmm – I was hoping the “not the usual cities, but the ones down the road” might have meant Nottingham was swerved for once in favour of it’s less fashionable neighbour Derby. They did play Derby Assembly Rooms on the Trust tour after all.verbal gymnastics wrote:The #justtrustuk2020 Thursday clue is "You need wheels" and a picture of Raleigh "The all steel bicycle". As Raleigh bikes are based in Nottingham I guess that's that one sorted.
Cue the moans about the sound quality at Nottingham Arena...
Slight problem with that being the Assembly Rooms is currently mothballed after a fire in the plant room a few years ago, and the various council factions have been arguing ever since whether to refurbish or demolish & replace.
Ah well

Whilst Raleigh is in Nottingham, you’ll need wheels to get to the one down the road ie Derby...

Since you put me down, it seems i've been very gloomy. You may laugh but pretty girls look right through me.
Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
Well, there's a McCallum Theatre in California. Or perhaps part of the tour will be solo - Napoleon Solo?

Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
I thought I knew a song from my dim and distant childhood called "I Belong To Glasgae" (the spelling meant to represent a cod- Scots accent as per BBC speak) but I couldn't find a reference anywhere on t'internet. Don't know where this ties into the Men From Uncle ( unless Elvis plans to pay the whole of Get Happy! for me wherever I may turn up to see him)

PS Mettoy was founded in Northampton but is now based in Swansea - it's only made it more confusing !
PPS, David McCallum was born in Glasgow ( bingo and all praise to Wikipedia (sic))

Re: "Plotting our return, early in the Leap Year"
So, based on Elvis' Twitter feed and the #justtrustUK2020 clues, I have this list of possible UK shows, to be announced in September 2019:
Any more? Given the tweet showing sticks of rock and mugs from Margate, Blackpool and Brighton, we might need to add those to the list too. Elvis played Blackpool Opera House in 2013 and the Brighton Dome in 2015.
We await confirmation of the dates and venues....
MOOT
- Cardiff St David’s Hall or Millennium Centre
Edinburgh Usher Hall
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall or Barrowlands?
Liverpool Empire or Philharmonic Hall?
London Hammersmith Apollo (date of 13 March 2020 has been mooted)
Manchester Apollo?
Nottingham Royal Concert Hall
Oxford New Theatre
Sunderland Empire
