Dangerous Amusements: the Elvis Costello playlist

Music journalist Paul Stokes (NME, Q, MOJO, BBC Radio 6 Music) takes us on a trip down Rocking Horse Road as we talk about his love of Elvis Costello’s music.

We chat about the Costello record that changed his life and look back at some of the many Elvis gigs he’s been to over the years.

Paul tells us about his experiences of interviewing EC for different music magazines and producing an appearance on BBC Radio 6 Music.

And, of course, Paul picks out five gems from Costello’s catalogue for our Dragging the Lake playlist.
