The new Elvis movie and why we loved it

Among the things of great import we ran up the flagpole this week:-

Why Baz Lurhmann’s new movie will do for Elvis what Get Back’s done for the Beatles.

Highlights of our Word In Your Park show – what happened on Geoff Lloyd’s McCartney radio special involving a flugelhorn? What was Andy Miller wearing and why? What obscure McCartney track did Danny Baker say was a masterpiece? What did Graham Gouldman nick from Things We Said Today when writing hits for the Hollies?

The John Peel auction and the prices people paid for an Oz Obscenity Trial vest, copies of Sniffin’ Glue and a postcard from John Lennon. 

Is punk the new pop memorabilia sweet spot?

Why gigs are getting longer.

How music hall shaped the first pop package tours.

Dads and daughters at concerts.

Plus patron birthday guest Andrew Stocks and a Fava’s Day gift from Keith Adsley.
