Show Notes

Kenton Hall is a man of many talents: songwriter, musician, actor and director. He’s also a huge Elvis Costello fan.

In this episode, Kenton tells me how he discovered Costello’s music, what it means to him and how it has influenced his own songwriting.

We chat about some of his favourite Elvis records, memorable gigs and how Steve Nieve came to record a track for Kenton’s recent album Omniopath.

Make sure you check out Kenton’s brilliant audio drama, London After Midnight, which he has adapted from the Tod Browning movie and in which he stars alongside Art Malik and others.
