LOU DALGLEISH

They Call Her Natasha (The Songs of Elvis Costello)

Lou's alter ego has been spawned in the form of Elsie Costello, derived from Elvis' lyric "They call her Natasha but she looks like Elsie", from the song "I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea".

Operating as a 5-piece band, they cover his work from "My Aim Is True" right through to "All This Useless Beauty".
Although they remain true to the originals, they perform tracks like "Accidents Will Happen" and "Shipbuilding" with imagination and flair.
The night should be very entertaining one for fans of great songs and Costello, along with Lou herself, who has to date released four albums and gigged with Wet Wet Wet and Bryan Ferry.
"This promises to be rather special..." - What's On .
