In keeping with the exuberant musicality that has defined his three-decade plus career, Costello has some tasty treats in store for both A Day On The Green show and a special theatre performance. For the winery concerts, the unabashed showman backed by the trusty Imposters – keyboardist Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas and bassist Davey Faragher – will take audiences through the Costello musical encyclopaedia refresher course with a selection of classic hits. While for his theatre performance, Costello will showcase his gigantic vaudevillian game show wheel as the centrepiece of a show called The Spectacular Spinning Songbook. At each show, concert fans are invited on stage to spin the wheel, thereby creating the night’s set list from 40 selections including hits, rarities and a few surprises. Due to production and stage requirements, The Spectacular Spinning Songbook can make only a very special appearance at the Palais Theatre.
