Widely regarded as one of our greatest living songwriters, Elvis Costello is a man who needs little introduction. A prolific hitmaker whose career spans some four decades, he graces the Corn Exchange on 18 June as part of Detour, his new 21- date solo tour.
Costello began his career on the pub rock circuit in London in the early 1970s, later becoming associated with the new wave movement, along with the likes of Nick Lowe and Ian Dury. His debut album, My Aim Is True (1977), saw him explode onto the scene, offering up tracks which remain some of the best of his whole career, from the reggae-ish Watching The Detectives to Alison, a raw ode to unrequited love.
