Costello’s last visit to Edinburgh saw him deliver a two-and-a-half-hour tour de force that will be hard to forget.  It’s a night that Elvis himself has good reason to remember.  Having decided not to go public about a recent cancer treatment he had thrown himself back into public performance a little too soon. Edinburgh saw him at the top of his game but by the following night in Newcastle he had overstretched himself and later tour dates were cancelled.  Happily, a brief respite saw him return to active service and, following a double-header tour with Blondie and further Imposters’ dates in the U.S and U.K, he is back in front of an Edinburgh audience once again.  Billed A Tour To Trust, the shows are not intended to lean heavily on Costello’s 1981 album Trust, but to indicate that we should trust Elvis and The Impostors to deliver the goods.
