Paul Simon said very nice things about him.
Looks like a night of Dionne Warwick
Didn’t he try and smash Costello’s favourite guitar off the mixing console as well.
A sign of his greatness is surely the fact that anyone who covers his songs usually make a mess of it.
Christy Moore (Fairytale of New York) and Paul Mannion (Rainy Night in Soho) probably only two people i can think of who can make a half decent fist of it.
I’m sure Mannion will be belting out Rainy Night in Soho in the Kilmacud Crokes* Clubhouse tomorrow night when they get the job done. cc @TheUlteriorMotive

There was a chap busking on the prom around May this year, he was singing Rainy Night In Soho with a sort of echoey acoustic guitar, a but like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, I honestly thought it was the version of it I’d ever heard.
