The Welsh get everywhere - even in the blood of one of England's greatest living singer songwriters. To call it a home coming when he returns to Wales next month would be a stretch, but Elvis Costello is no stranger to the welcome in the hillsides.
The critically acclaimed, multi-award winning artist is the biggest name yet to tread the fresh boards at Swansea Arena, when he was due to arrive on June 20. The gig has now been postponed due to band member's illness and it due to be rescheduled. But it's not his first visit to the city, or by any stretch to the country from where his great grandmother hails.
"My ma's granny was Welsh," he tells Wales Online. "Georgina Wllliams. I guess that's why people tend to confuse me with Andy Williams or even Kenneth Williams."
