First post so bear with me... hope you don't mind me spamming your space like this but this will be a great show...
I'm putting on an Elvis Costello tribute event in the Brighton Festival Fringe - and I've even got the thumbs up from the Big Man himself!
I was lucky enough to have a quick chat with him after his show at the Barbican recently - he signed a poster for me, and he was really cool about the gig. He just kept looking at the poster and saying "That's wild, man!". Legend.

So the show: basically I'm gathering an exciting line-up of top Brightonian vocalists around some classic EC songs, backed by an amazing house band. It's called "So Like Costello" after the song "So Like Candy" of course!
Guests include:
Paul Steel, Stuart Flynn , Glen Richardson (Brighton Beach Boys), Ralph Brown (yes, the actor!), Felicity Birch, Jordan Smith (Xcerts), and me!!
The brilliant jazz pianist Mark Edwards will also make a guest appearance.
It would be great if any of you are in the area and fancy coming down - we're going to have a ball!
Tickets are on sale here:
