What some have said: -

“….if poetry is the new rock ‘n roll then Elvis….is Elvis” (Steve Larkin, Hammer & Tongue)

“….very brilliant….political ….but side-splittingly funny” (The Reading Rant)

“….comic poetry with a stand-up charge coupled with intelligent leaps of the poetic imagination” (Shortfuse)

“flamboyant….razor-sharp text….intense energy….reminds me of Adrian Mitchell, John Cooper Clarke and Linton Kwesi Johnson….all the right people” (Simon Vinkenoog)

The cheque's in the post Simon.

On the other hand, Rachel Cooke in “The New Statesman” said of Elvis’ first appearance on “Saturday Live” “….someone you’ve never heard of, whose every stanza sounds as if it was written by Les Dawson on the back of a fag packet”. Cheers Rachel!

“Elvis McGonagall does make me laugh out loud….” (Fi Glover) ........ ”Dear me. This is not what I wanted to hear at all….” (Rachel Cooke, again)
