SPECTACLE: ELVIS COSTELLO with...
Richard recorded a short solo performance for "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with..." a new series which airs on the Sundance Channel in the US, CTV in Canada, and Channel 4 in the UK. Conceived to provide a forum for in-depth discussion and performance with the most interesting and influential artists and personalities of our time, the show fuses the best of talk and music television. Also appearing on the same episode is James Taylor! Richard is in good company with other artists appearing on the series including Elton John, The Police, Norah Jones, and many others. The show initially aired on December 24th... Christmas Eve! Look out for reruns of the show on your local channel!
