It would be weird to fly Pete and Davey to London for a two-song set. No other live dates have been announced. Are they recording something?

I was wondering the same thing. You may recall that before the final dates of the 2020 UK Tour were cancelled, due to "the bugs taking over", Elvis had planned to go into Abbey Road studios with The Imposters after the tour ended.

That did not happen, so they may have unfinished business over here. It depends whether the songs they would have recorded in March 2020 ended up on "The Boy Named If" or not.... Elvis told various newspapers last year that he had been busy in lockdown writing "stacks of songs" so maybe some will go to make up the next but one new album.

Chalkie Davies commented on Facebook -

Unfortunately it wasn’t live, they played to two specially edited tapes, each less than two minutes in length.

More importantly what songs did the cruise ship scampi in a basket chanteuse Jane McDonald sing :lol:

Very surprising to see Elvis and the Imposters there but that might be because it was only billed as Elvis.

Hopefully this provides a surprise for tomorrow. Fingers crossed the album playback is a live run through the new album.

Wow, very very surprised that they didn't sing live!
