Tonight I had a ticket to see Elvis Costello who was performing with Allen Toussaint at The Tower Music Festival. The cool part of this was the stage was actually set up in what used to be the moat of The Tower of London.He wasn’t in particularly good voice and I wasn’t familiar at all with his new stuff, but it turned out to be a decent set. His new music has a real R&B feel to it and the four piece horn section added to that. Even his old standards had a new arrangement that mimicked this new style making it quite interesting.
The highlight of the evening was when I turned around during Pump It Up and saw one of the off duty Yeoman (Beefeater) with a beer in each hand dancing in the aisle. Classic!
