December 2013: Elvis Costello & The Imposters in Japan

Having clicked on the links below (and I know you haven't, yet) The Inquisitive and Possibly Argumentative Reader will note that you end up in the middle of the Overseas section of The Little House of Concrete hits the road. Hardly surprising, really.

The concerts were, of course, Overseas, and four Elvis Costello Spinning Songbook shows in Japan provide an excuse to go to Japan, ride around on trains for a bit, and have a bit of a squiz at some temples and other places of interest.

So we're here, in between the Neil Young/Bruce Springsteen odyssey in March 2013 and the Bruce bit in February 2014 because of the chronology.

The links below will take you Overseas because that was where they were.. And, of course, if you're looking for something about the actual concerts, you need to head here in The Music Pages because that's where we discuss that sort of thing. Logical, eh?
