hamilton Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 My favourite Ottawa arts reporter has written that Elvis Costello is playing Bluesfest this year.But he still has to confirm. So.... is he or isn't he? Or did you make it up? [color:purple]Can I refer Armstrong to the Pulitzer committee?Elvis is doing some shows during May using the Spectacular Spinning Songbook, which I think he hasn't used since the mid-80s. *If* he is coming to Bluesfest, it would be pretty cool to see him use that, but based on the size of the venues he is doing in May he may only bring it out for smaller-sized shows.Either way, I hope he comes to Ottawa for you guys! I have tickets to see him in Seoul at the end of this month. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, they may choose to take a seat in the on-stage “Society Loungeâ€, where light refreshments will be served, during what promises to be a splendid and surprising evening.The original Wheel was famously donated to the Hartlepool Museum Of Showbusiness Machinery but it has been meticulously reconstructed from the original blueprints.The Imposters are Steve Nieve (keyboards), Pete Thomas (drums) and Davey Faragher (bass).The Revolver Tour Dates5/7 - RENO, NV GRAND SIERRA THEATRE (on sale 02/12)5/8 - OAKLAND, CA THE FOX (on sale 02/13) )5/9 - OAKLAND, CA THE FOX (on sale 02/13) )5/11 - LOS ANGELES, CA THE WILTERN (on sale 02/11) )5/15 - CHICAGO, IL CHICAGO THEATRE (on sale 02/05) )5/18 - MONTCLAIR, NJ WELLMONT THEATRE (on sale 02/11) )5/19 - UPPER DARBY, PA TOWER THEATRE (on sale 02/12) )5/20 - BOSTON, MA WANG THEATRE (on sale 02/11) )5/22 - NEW YORK, NY BEACON THEATRE (on sale TBA)5/23 - NEW YORK, NY BEACON THEATRE (on sale TBA)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I recall that the first time the spinning songbook on it, it included "Knowing Me, Knowing You" by ABBA, and when it came up, he bloody well played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
