Surely an acoustic guitar will be involved?

Re: My Darling Clementine working with Steve Nieve on an album of EC covers , 2020
Super excited by this. MDC recently cancelled their show at St Michaels in the Hamlet which should have been tonight, obviously they got a 'better offer' to play with Steve in a couple of months. I wonder if they will allow him to incorporate playing the church's organ in the set?

MDC are now touring Country Darkness in UK and US . I thoroughly recommend this CD and for a mere £10 (inc postage) they will send you their disc with a poster and postcard included. I am sure other currencies are available. Two Liverpool gigs included in the schedule, I hope to get to the one in St...

This is interesting discussion. I always hear his Scouse roots coming out in this pre-decimalisation pronunciation and on 'there's a tuppenny-ha’penny millionaire, looking for a fourpenny one' from Man out of Time.

Thanks for this MooT. I loved this, the antithesis of the Craig Charles Show on R6M. Talkative Elvis.

Well worth spending an hour with if IPlayer is available down ...

Re: Elvis as guitar hero
My guitar heros are Ry Cooder, Richard Thompson (acoustic), Martin Simpson and I wouldn't ever put EC at that virtuoso level player. But he does sell himself short.

Yes - very strange although Guardian only bothers with 3 album reviews each week. Guardian on Saturday had a full page advert for Boy in their Saturday magazine section.

Re: EC & The Imposters with Charlie Sexton - UK Tour, June 2022
The ticket prices are my biggest concern. It was steep in 2020 and, with the 10% “convenience” presale ticket prices at some venues, the cost was over £100.
