De Britse artiest Elvis Costello (56) geeft in november twee concerten in Nederland. Op 8 november treedt hij op in De Oosterpoort in Groningen en op 10 november in de Melkweg in Amsterdam, zo lieten beide poppodia maandag weten. Costello brengt tijdens de ''intieme solo-optredens'' een combinatie ...

After he finishes his tours of Asia, Australasia, South America and the US of A, Elvis is playing the Rochester International Jazz Festival on 17 June. A week or so later, the Montreal Jazz Festival begins. Diana Krall is due to play solo shows at the festival on three consecutive nights from 26 - 2...

This date and the date in Amsterdam are billed as Solo shows. It seems possible that the European tour this year will be solo shows only , unless he decided to ask the Brodskys to join him for some of the UK dates?

Interesting for me that he is now including "Beyond Belief" in his solo set. He played it just before Christmas in Chicago too: http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_2010-12-20_Chicago You will recall that the first time he ever played it solo (he said) was for Zoe Ball, whe...

This is more in the style of the remixes issued with the singles taken from ATUB or WIWC # 2. IMHO too much of the accompanying video appears to have been shot on a mobile phone, in the back of a taxi in Seoul. However, as an accompaniment to a new "release" it has much to commend it. Elvi...

This is the flyer for the London dates. Lou is still using a quote from the Beyond Belief article I wrote. http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae103/declanmm/Louflyer01.jpg http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae103/declanmm/Louflyer02.jpg Someone at the Leicester Square theatre may like Elvis... http:...

Not going to get to Liverpool this time, but I see that the show is coming to the Leicester Square Theatre, London from 23 to 26 March. Details here: http://www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/lqt/show/S1294425292/They+Call+Her+Natasha Tickets from £15. Interesting to see what sort of reviews she gets. M...

krm wrote:GTTM....Beyond Belief.....ECIS..... I had to go and dig out all those again. HOw many issues of BB were printed, by the way?

The final issue was issue 28, but many were double issues, so if you had a copy of every BB published, you would have 23 in all.

"The Sinking of the Laconia" will be broadcast on BBC2 in two parts on 6 and 7 January 2011 (8 January in Wales) at 9pm. The BBC Website does not include any musical credits: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x9cjj IMDB does better and lists original music by Adrian Johnston. Mr Johnston ...

As the author of the quote from "Beyond Belief" I can second CTB's warm words about Lou/Elsie. I saw her play a whole set of EC covers at a sold out gig in a small venue in the Kings Heath (Birmingham) last year accompanied by Gladstone Wilson. She tackles a wide spectrum of EC's songs - f...

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sejong_Center): "Sejong Center for the Performing Arts (or Sejong Center) is the largest arts and cultural complex in Seoul, South Korea. It currently is home to the biggest pipe organ in Asia." Pity this is not a Costello/Nieve gig. I h...

EC is making another live appearance on the Geoff Lloyd show today from 5pm today. http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/onair/geoff/index.html You can listen on digital radio, or online (link above). Given his appearance also on BBC Radio 5 Live, it seems that Elvis may be in London today (Christmas shopp...

In the opening scene of the currently on release movie "The Kids are All Right" (which has nothing to do with The Who), Julianne Moore's character wears an EC t-shirt. The design is the cover short from 2.5 years without the lettering. Here she is wearing it, on set.... http://assets.madam...

no cd and the vinyl will now be dec. 17 My vinyl arrived in the post from the USA a few days ago. A thing of beauty and a joy to behold. Two separate twelve inch discs on the Lupe-O-Tone label. Four tracks on each side in a gatefold sleeve with the lyrics on the inside covers. Is this the first off...

Anyone photos of this from anyone? No photos, but I do have a video recording (with sound) of Black and White world, posted on the Costello-L group on Facebook. Not sure whether you need to join the group to see it. Go here: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/video/video.php?v=438392306102&oid...

Prices seem to be rising. This looks way above the odds. When did it cease to be profitable to publish music and lyrics anyway?

Two possibilities spring to mind: Ransom notes (as in musical notes), in the style of a ransom note, with letters cut out from a newspaper, like some of the early Jamie Reid Sex Pistols artwork or The Wolf Whistles, thinking about the cover of National Ransom and the whistling in Slow Drag with Jose...

When introducing "Jimmie Standing In The Rain" at live shows this year, EC was often to be heard saying that the protagonist in the song was someone who had stolen Jimmie Rodgers' Act. I do hope that by playing "Sweet Mama Hurry Home" EC is not heading down that same path leading...

I'm hoping he'll drag out some of these tunes when I see him next year: MOODS FOR MODERNS (when did he last play this?) Your reliable source for all such queries is the Costello performance index, part of the Homepage wiki, here: http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/The_Costello_Performance...

I got to see EC play "Black and White World" solo in Cardiff this year, where he also treated us to a solo version of "Suit of Lights", a solo take on "Poison Moon" - one of the Honky Tonk demos and "All or Nothing at All" - an obscure cover . I also saw him d...

I see that most of the Brodsky Quartet are on Ronan Macmanus' solo album "Strawberry Hill". The credits for the album list a "String Quartet" comprising: Paul Cassidy, Jacqueline Thomas, Ian Belton & Lucy. I also note that a lot of the Youtube links for Ronan and the Biblecod...
