Elvis Costello and The Imposters took to the stage at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Friday night, but things didn’t quite go to plan due to a technical issue.
The show, titled ‘The Boy Named If & Other Favourites’, was sold out at the Liverpool Philharmonic. Costello, 67, and band members Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas, Davey Faragher, plus Charlie Sexton, delighted fans with tracks from their 2022 album, as well as a few classics. Personally, I couldn’t wait to hear Pump It Up and I Don’t Want To Go To Chelsea live, but Costello kept me waiting right until the end.
There was a real buzz in the room following support act Ian Prowse, and when Costello stepped out onto the stage wearing a pair of shades and holding his guitar, the crowd erupted. The main man himself told the Liverpool crowd “it’s good to be home” before going into the first song of the night.
