And me Spirit of Curiosity and myself will be shoe and handbag shopping first, then downing a few cocktails before the show. It promises to be the perfect day can you sense that I'm a tad giddy? I don't get out much

I see on Twitter Mark Billingham is interviewing Elvis at Waterstones in LIverpool. Would he be a big enough name to interview him at the RFH? Not that I have anything against Mark. I am a big fan of his work.
Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
Re Liverpool appearance -
Mark replied on Twitter to my asking if he is doing the London appearance -
No. I think I know who is, but I cannot say...
The suspense of it..
.Elvis will be in conversation with crime writer and lifelong Elvis Costello fan Mark Billingham

He posted on Facebook re the London appearance:
'You will be more than pleasantly surprised who he is "in conversation" with that night'
I wonder who that could be then?

Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
My lawyers have instructed me to say that I can neither confirm nor deny that I will be interviewing Elvis that night.
I will not be commenting upon this until such time as there is an official announcement.
And sulky, of course I would tell you. Right after I've told everybody else

Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
Fever Pitch speculation About who the interviewer will be....
Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
Aha! Okay, John, you're clearly in the know! I wonder if Elvis will play High Fidelity?
Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
I was almost hoping the interviewer might be London resident, fellow recent memoirist, and EC's contemporary and sometime pal -- Chrissie Hynde. She could give him some tips on how to make internet-melting remarks to help shift copies.

Southbank confirm there will be no book included in the ticket price and no signing at the event. Luckily I got a ticket to meet him at HMV that afternoon!

Re: Book promo, London , October 29th 2015
It's a bit unfair - I could have bought a ticket to a non-London show and got a signed book for not far off the price of a London ticket.
Instead I get a free ticket for a signing but I've still got to buy the book. I need to check if I'm allowed to take my own copy or if I can only have the book signed if I buy it on the day at HMV.
Still, we're all rich down south aren't we?
