Liverpool Echo Arena

Wahoo, Liverpool tonight!!

Anyone got Jones' number they can PM me? She was supposed to be on the same bus/train from Sheffield to Liverpool but I haven't seen her, want to make sure she's ok. :/

Who else from here is going tonight?

All being well I will be there tonight. Probably in the disabled section as I'm in a wheelchair whilst recovering from surgery.

Ah, Joanie is well on the way.

Pop me a message if you're there tonight Cestrian Saint - hope you're feeling well enough!

I can't wait for tonight, it will be my first elbow gig.
I just hope they can live up to the expectations in my head.

I don't think there is any danger of that not happening, HattyMarris.

Just settin off now
Looking forward to this week: Liverpool tonight, the MEN on Friday then Jesca Hoop on Saturday.
Hope everyone has a great night

Just phoned the Echo Arena as I've got standing tickets for tonight but I'll be in a wheelchair. They said they wouldn't be able to swap my tickets and if I'm in a wheelchair I won't be allowed in.

WHAT!!! :-(

We'll see about that. Descriminative bastards! Surely there's a health and safety issue if they're going to make me stand and not allow me use of my wheelchair?

Thanks for all your help. I shall see you later. Let battle commence!!!

have a nice evening folks.

Hey sparky, didn't realise you were there tonight!! There was NO reception in the arena so apologies if anyone tried to reach me.

Hiya kim. It was a good do wasn't it?
We were on the left side of the catwalk next to where they had their cocktails. Had a look round but couldn't see you guys.
Too tired to gather my thoughts properly now but overall I thought it was a top night.
Still brilliant but different brilliant

It was a fantastic night, pretty much everything i was hoping for (except the older tracks)
Thought it was hilarious when Guy broke his trumpet during Starlings as well.

First post here... Hello!

Gig last night was fantastic. My first Elbow gig and I must admit there was a bit trepidation about the size of the venue but it just worked. A very warm crowd, Guy and the boys on fine form and it seems a lot of the songs, especially from SSK and BARB were made for large venues.

And to top it all off, Bury's Ryan Lowe won League Two Player of the Year last night. What a night!

I thought I was on the same bus as Kim and Olivia but to my horror noticed I had a reservation for the early one!
Not great when you're tired and hung-over!
It was all good in the end and we met up at the door. We were 3,4 and 5 in the queue; spot up the front guaranteed!
The gig was great! Yes, there's a lot of SSK and I would have loved some more from BARB but I still came away buzzing, like only an Elbow gig can do!

BTW really enjoyed Villagers too!
