Former subscribers to Mark Perry and Mike Bodayle's "Fanzine" - "Beyond belief" may recall that Issue #28from Winter 2001 featured an interview with one Lou Dalgleish, who was then performing a set of EC covers under the name "They call her Natasha". Seven years have pa...

Re: Ross McManus
With apologies for being 10 months late, but I have only just read John's comment of 2 December last year - "In 1998, the spangled ball stopped turning. Some might say that it is rotating faster than ever now the old formula has been revivified by an infusion of celebrities. But I for one find ...

Re: Elvis/Hazel Dickens tribute
A recent e-mail enquiry to Rounder records about the release of this tribute album elicited a reply from one Mike Annis (mannis@rounder.com), which I quote here verbatim in its entirety: "It’s still too early to know when this will be available, or who all will end up being involved." So t...

Re: Any chance of a UK tour?
FWIW, backstage after the show in Liverpool on 25 June I asked EC whether he'd be playing in England again. "Oh yes" was his reply in a tone that suggested this was a given. As has been noted, I think the de-minimis options seems to be a gig in Liverpool around the time of his mother's bir...

Re: Elvis' christening church - 'For Sale'
Thanks as usual to John for his perseverance in bringing to our attention more of Elvis' past. The church and presbytery are still showing as "available" on the Auctioneer's website. The guide price of £290,000.00 - £325,000.00 may have something to do with this. The more logical outcome w...

Very interested in this, provided we don't get too much of Il Sogno.

Firstly in my new role as John Foyle's Friend, let me say I was happy to sell my spare ticket to oliversa1 (or his bearded companion) and more so when he paid above face value (despite my protestations). Frankly if a man in an EC T shirt cannot walk up to a venue and expect to be sold a ticket there...
