I'm guessing this report says Elvis visited Iceland with Ms Krall in 2003-

http://www.visir.is/salan-a-costello-fe ... 1110429487


Einar Bárðarson ásamt Elvis Costello og Díönu Krall á góðri stundu árið 2003 þegar Krall hélt tónleika í Laugardalshöll. Einar hefur nú innreið sína aftur á tónleikamarkaðinn með því að flytja Costello til landsins

Tickets still available. According to the venue website:

http://en.harpa.is/events/nr/884

for this show "Fans of Costello can make song requests on http://www.elviscostello.is/ " The link fails to work for me.

Elvis Costello
Einstök Kvöldstund með Costello í Hörpu

Grammy- verðlaunahafinn og tónlistarkamelljónið Elvis Costello heldur tónleika í tónlistarhúsi Reykjavíkur Hörpu 21. nóvember næstkomandi. Costello á að baki einhvern litríkasta tónlistarferil sem sögur fara af. Hann ögrar sér og aðdáendum sínum á hverju ári og spannar ferill hans allt frá ný pönki yfir í létt sveiflu og samstarfi við meistara Tony Bennett

Goggle translation of last one -


Jeff Bárðarson went out on the pitch to get Dylan McManus, came back with Elvis Costello

On Sunday comes, but musical chameleon Elvis Costello concert harp. Costello's music on the back of colorful, covering everything from punk to the light cycle. Singer came last in 2003, then with his girlfriend Diana Crall who thought this concert by the Concert. Jeff has worked Bárðarson clearly the to get Costello to appear in this country.

I remember I was sent out on the pitch after the 'last minute' visitors as they called it. I was told that the Hittite Dylan McManus and got a sign with that name to the wave of the terminal. When I showed up in court and people began to stream out of his customs was Elvis Costello suddenly walking and waded towards me and offered a good night. Then I realized suddenly that the field name is Elvis Costello, who called the right name Dylan McManus.

Jeff Costello and drove around town and had a good chat together. Singer known to Jacob Magnusson and his activities from London and knew Björk. But is not expensive and high risk involved in import-known musicians in the economic situation currently prevailing in this country?

The risk is always present in these bissnes. But Harpa has given us the momentum. People want to come in a choice and see the splendid events. There is a revolution in concerts to this house. But there are all aware of the Forum not to repeat offramboðið since 2008.

According to Einar Costello afar much looking forward to the concert. He had to postpone the concert was to take place 21st November due to illness and death of his father kept his last seven concerts of the summer. Costello would like to thank the people of Iceland patience they have shown him and promises great gig.

I want to encourage people to go into elviscostello.is where you can submit óskalög is an exciting novelty and so guests can contribute to create a powerful evening.

[Man out of Time]

I can see why Elvis might answer to the name "Dylan MacManus". Less sure whether he would also answer to "Mr Crall".

Like I said above, Icelandic is not a strong suit for Google Translate, but I don't think we can blame the software for mangling names.

Good Atmosphere at Elvis Costello Concert in Iceland

Attendees at the Elvis Costello concert in Harpa, the concert and conference center in Reykjavík, yesterday evening said the atmosphere had been great. The musician had asked for requests for songs through his website before the concert.

Costello, whose right name is Declan McManus, has been in Iceland since Friday and will stay a few more days, Morgunblaðið reports.

He has been in Iceland before; in 2003 he came here with Diana Krall, who was his fiancé at the time and is currently his wife.

Originally, Costello’s concert was to be held on November 21, 2011, but he had to postpone it as his father had fallen ill.

Costello isn’t the only veteran English singer-songwriter who has thrown a concert in Iceland recently. At the end of May Bryan Ferry performed at two concerts in Harpa to the delight of the audience and critics.
