Elvis Costello Fan Forum

A recent e-mail enquiry to Rounder records about the release of this tribute album elicited a reply from one Mike Annis (mannis@rounder.com), which I quote here verbatim in its entirety: "It’s still too early to know when this will be available, or who all will end up being involved." So t...

So, the 2009 UK tour takes shape: Sunday 26th April, Glasgow, Royal Concert Hall Wednesday 29th April: St George's Hall, Bristol Where else will they turn up ...... Bridgewater Hall, Manchester? Symphony Hall, Birmingham? Cadogan Hall in London? Union Chapel? Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, Usher Ha...

There are 30:10 t shirts to be had on EC's official site. They were also on sale last year at his tour dates: According to Denver Truth on his blog (below), there was a small sign next to them saying that it was 30 years since EC's first release and he had hidden ten copies of solo home recordings o...

FWIW, backstage after the show in Liverpool on 25 June I asked EC whether he'd be playing in England again. "Oh yes" was his reply in a tone that suggested this was a given. As has been noted, I think the de-minimis options seems to be a gig in Liverpool around the time of his mother's bir...

Elvis's concert at the New Picket a year ago was in the way of a fundraiser for the venue. Philip Hayes has sent me a link to a short video clip showing how the venue looks now. http://www.treehousesessions.net/Final_Pickets.zip Those who were there last year will notice the improvement, although I ...

I have a copy of this on DVD as part of the "Decades Rock Live" concert recorded at the Trump Taj Mahal (!) on 19 May 2006. You can see it listed here: http://www.elviscostello.info/wiki/index.php/Concert_2006-05-19 I bought a b**tleg DVD online from a supplier in the USA. It is a region f...

Thanks as usual to John for his perseverance in bringing to our attention more of Elvis' past. The church and presbytery are still showing as "available" on the Auctioneer's website. The guide price of £290,000.00 - £325,000.00 may have something to do with this. The more logical outcome w...

Whilst looking for what has become of Steve Nieve's official website where the last post was "Under construction - back in a few days" posted in February 2008, I stumbled upon an article in a French academic journal: "Insistance" from 2007. The full title of the article (when tra...

There is also a podcast for WTTV on the Théâtre du Chatelet website. You can hear Steve and Muriel talk about WTTV. Steve tells the story of how he button-holed Sting at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, when they wound up sitting on the same table. The link is here: http://www.chat...

Looking forward to the Liverpool gig and to seeing Mr Foyle again. If you're looking to meet up beforehand, I would recommend either the Everyman Theatre Bistro (downstairs) on Hope Street (which runs between the City's two cathedrals) : http://www.everyman.co.uk/downloads/daily_menu.pdf if you want...

Very interested in this, provided we don't get too much of Il Sogno.

Has anyone else had problems with the RLPO online booking system? It won't seem to take my money!

Firstly in my new role as John Foyle's Friend, let me say I was happy to sell my spare ticket to oliversa1 (or his bearded companion) and more so when he paid above face value (despite my protestations). Frankly if a man in an EC T shirt cannot walk up to a venue and expect to be sold a ticket there...

Thanks to John for this week's photo diary from the EC Heritage Trail. I wonder however whether the photos of Horn Lane, include number 6? The Executive Suite at 6 Horn Lane, Acton was formerly the home of F-Beat records, and as such the address can be found on the back cover of the UK release of &q...
