Tombowler Touring

Elvis Costello's obscure 1970s demo "Jump Up" was never a hit, never a single and rarely played live, yet it became one of the most discussed songs of the final episode of Stephen Colbert's Late Show. The track's political satire, its unusual history and Colbert's long-standing affection for the song explain why an overlooked recording resurfaced for television's farewell moment.

Paul McCartney became the final interview guest on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, using the programme's closing chapter to revisit The Beatles' first American visit and reflect on childhood memories that continue to shape his songwriting.

Thirty years after its release, Elvis Costello's 1996 album All This Useless Beauty is being reassessed as one of the pivotal records in his catalogue, marking the end of his long partnership with The Attractions and the close of his Warner Bros. era.

Bruce Springsteen has honoured Shane MacGowan with a newly recorded version of The Pogues' classic A Rainy Night In Soho, celebrating the songwriting legacy of the late Irish frontman.
