Looks like that old dear who worked her, literally, magic on flogging Jame Blount may be doing the same for Elvis. Hopefully this will encourage some UK promoters to book this package. He might even bring it to Dublin, though chance would be a fine thing.

I hope it does come to England but if it does I suspect there will only be one performance a la Painted From Memory.

Costello will perform his full-length orchestral work Il Sogno - which combines classical and jazz styles - during the first half of the concert.

This quote is taken from the BBC story. Presumably, what they really mean is that an orchestra will perform Il Sogno while our man Elvis sits in the front row eating a choc ice and drinking a Kwenchy-Cup.

He'd be eating a giant bowl of pop corn so that he can throw pieces at the musicians. At least that's what I would be doing.
