Description

Stand-up poet, comedian and broadcaster, armchair revolutionary and walking shortbread tin, Elvis McGonagall resides at The Graceland Caravan Park somewhere in the back of beyond where he scribbles satirical verse whilst drinking malt whisky and listening to Johnny Cash. Two series of his sitcom ?Elvis McGonagall Takes A Look On The Bright Side? have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 where he appears regularly as well as popping up occasionally on the television.

But Elvis also gigs with his band The Resurrectors ?an unholy marriage of radical stand-up poetry and Caledonian punkabilly rock ?n roll?. The band?s debut album ?Gie It Laldy!? was released on Bar-Ox Records in 2018. Their 4-track EP ?Burstin? Oot in Fairy Lights? was released on the same label last year.

?A bracing throwback to the days when comedy made room for militant eccentrics with a knack for scansion and a bolshie hankering to change the world?.righteous ire, directed at very deserving targets?.McGonagall?s verses are shot through with a moral umbrage and rhetorical power? The Guardian
"Funny, angry and full of tightly written quick-fire verse. McGonagall combines anger, polish and carefully crafted verse in a way
which recalls John Cooper Clarke. If the word ?poetry? is putting you off, get over it? The Scotsman
