Elvis Lives in Guildford



Elvis Costello on the "Stiff Live Stiffs Tour" with naughty Attraction Bruce Thomas on bass. The running order changed each night on the tour with each headliner (apart from Elvis and Ian Dury) enjoying shared backing band-members, which meant that Ian Dury drummed for Wreckless Eric (Goulden), and other had multiple chores. The line-up was Larry Wallis (ex-Pink Fairies) with guest star Nick Lowe on bass, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Wreckless Eric and Elvis Costello and the Attractions. At the end of the show everyone was meant to go onstage to sing "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll." I don't recall Elvis joining in on this particular night in Guildford. Probably shot on Diafine pushed Kodak TriX at 1600 ASA with an Olympus OM1.
