Elvis has left the building

Just had to put this in, as its kind of fascinating. He was the first support at the Clap your hands gig last night, liked his music, and some good lyrics. Fun instruments too, accordians, double bass etc. Worth checking out.

I'm sure marketing execs would love him. He's got a very odd back story...
