The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London. Saturday, April 15, Sunday, April 16. Sold out. Concert starts at 5.30 p.m. Supporting are Mickey Jupp Band and Whirlwind. There are still some critics unconvinced of Elvis' talent, and of the quality of his songwriting. Boo, to them. We've yet to hear of anyone who's caught Costello and the Attractions on this British tour who hasn't staggered away completely fazed by the intensity of the group's performances. You'll be there, of course. | The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London. Saturday, April 15, Sunday, April 16. Sold out. Concert starts at 5.30 p.m. Supporting are Mickey Jupp Band and Whirlwind.

Here comes the weekly Elvis Costello bit. Despite his current popularity, Elvis went to Devon recently to play at a wedding. Apparently, the bride had given Elvis her barn to practise in when the boy was in dire straits without a penny to his name. The deal was that he would play at her wedding and he honoured the agreement ... Any truth in the rumour that Nick Lowe is on the verge of splitting up? | |||
Will Birch's Records made an auspicious London debut at the Hope And Anchor last week. Nick Lowe (stealing some riff perhaps?) and Jake Riviera turned out, as well as Radar Records execs. We're tipping Radar to nip in and sign the boys ... Tom Verlaine tells us he wants English engineer John Woods to work on Television's next album. Verlaine is a great admirer of Woods' work with John Cale, the Incredible String Band and Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and is hoping that he will engineer a projected live album to be recorded at Hammerismith Odeon this weekend. | |||
Sorry, Glen, but we're not telling: — A puzzled Glen Colson frantically attempted to find out how we got our hands on ''Parkerilla'', the Graham Parker live album, last week. The album's not due out for another three weeks. Talking of the GP and the Rumour, any truth in the rumour that Martin Belmont is leaving to pursue a solo career? We hear that he plans to do a Nick Lowe (whatever that means). Also, the band very upset by what they claim is erroneous review in Belfast last week ... Chrysalis have abbreviated the title of the next Blondie single. Conscious that it would be a bit of a mouthful for the illiterates down at Broadcasting House, "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence (Dear)" has been shortened to "Presence (Dear)" Talking of the Beeb, Peter Powell is the man who boasts about playing Brian And Michael's single, "Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs," first. | |||
