Anglia will happen

This is probably bugger all use now but Elvis Costello is on top live form at the moment - I saw him just last Monday blitz through a two hour set virtually without stopping, full of family favourites and making the new Nashville stuff nobody really admires all that much come alive. This is probably the least of the thoughts on the minds of University of East Anglia gig-goers wanting a refund because Costello was watching the Champions League final when he should have been onstage. The reason why this has broken a full eight days late is largely because he wrote it up for the Times, which actually muddies the waters a little in terms of when he started and what allowances were made, but got the local press angry anyway as they're wont to do (cf Norwich council's regular complaints to the BBC about Alan Partridge)
