Nick Lowe deputised for the injured Thomas at a Hemel Hempstead gig on [[Concert 1978-04-09 Hemel Hempstead|Sunday night]], having learned the entire set at the sound check, and according to Them As Was There, Basher performed heroically. However, due to prior commitments, he won't be able to do the rest of the British tour with Elvis, so Jake and Co. are hurriedly (not to say frenziedly) hunting down a bass player to deputise. The situation is complicated by the fact the Elvis is setting off for yet another canter round the Americas [[:Category:3rd US Tour|next week]]. | Nick Lowe deputised for the injured Thomas at a Hemel Hempstead gig on [[Concert 1978-04-09 Hemel Hempstead|Sunday night]], having learned the entire set at the sound check, and according to Them As Was There, Basher performed heroically.

For the upcoming Roundhouse dates, Elvis is planning "an experimental show" featuring a lengthy acoustic segment. Those ticket-holders who feel short-changed by this can return their £2 tickets and get a refund plus an extra quid to compensate them for travel expenses. All tickets returned will be sold on the day for £1 each. We here at ''Teazers'' reckon that you'd have to be some kind of natural-born fool to chop in your tickets, but that's your business. | For the upcoming Roundhouse dates, Elvis is planning "an experimental show" featuring a lengthy acoustic segment.

Ahaaaaah! Super-rare shot of now-defunct never-<wbr>ever-<wbr>got-<wbr>no-<wbr>nowhere-<wbr>worf-<wbr>going band [[Flip City]], totally devoid of interest except that the nattily-clad lad on the extreme left is Declan McManus, now known to all and sundry as Elvis Costello. At least, we here at Blackmail Corner ''think'' it's Elvis. If it turns out to be his Dad again, we promise to leave him and all the rest of the Riviera circus alone for at least three weeks. | Ahaaaaah!
