Hopefully they will come back to England later on in the year, as i would like to see them

I'm glad Leeds Met finally sold out, I was starting to think they weren't gonna be fully appreciated here! Anyway, can't wait for it. A right bit of luck that they're playing at my student union.

You lucky git, i was gonna go to the sheffield gig, but i realised i have other commitments.

Yeah, I think lucky git pretty much sums me up *smug* 3 days!!!

dam u

If I remember my digital cam I'll try to get some shots and post them on here

good idea

I really hope they do another US/Canada tour.. The only Canadian date is in Vancouver .

Yeah was looking at the dates and thinking that Canada was looking a little neglected. You poor Canucks! Console yourself with the fact that I am gonna come and live with you all one day.

Living in Canada? Be prepared to be Elbow-deprived. Hardly any stores even stock the CDs.

That's what the internet is for!

or anywhere else outside UK...

I guess it must be our totally rubbish weather that creates great musicians and artists

Yeah, we've got nothing else to do, so we write songs, eat food, and (If you're Scottish) invent everything useful in the world Go us And, Elbow's playing the Carling Academy on the 19th of October

Got two tickets as soon as I heard! I was annoyed at the lack of Scottish dates on this leg of the tour but they say good things come to those who wait! See ya there pal! :D:D

One thing we have a monopoly on its crap weather,

yass:P i'll be the one changing me top in the queue (Totally buying one there )

Did I see somewhere that Jesca Hoop is playing support? Is that at all the venues? I hope so.

Yeah, check out the 'live' section of the Official Elbow site. She's down as support for nearly every gig.
Must check her stuff out actually...

Cheers, Jones
I can't get most of the official Elbow site to work - the "live" page just shows a blank for me - anyone else have this problem? Perhaps it's Firefox, or perhaps it's our mega-slow broadband out in the sticks & I'm just too impatient to wait for it to load... (though I did give it plenty of time).

Anyway that's great news, I think Jesca Hoop's great. First head her on Guy's Payola show and found a few good tracks to download on her website (another non-straightforward website - but at least I can get that one to work ) - but that was before the Kismet album came out so don't know if they're still there. Anyway it's a wonderful album & I'm looking forward to seeing her on the Elbow tour.

Do you have the new flash player? If not you can get it .:HERE:.

Hmmm yes Thanks, Dabamash
Doesn't seem like 5 minutes since I last updated it, but that seems to have done the trick; I can now access the website in all its glory (and aye, Jesca Hoop is playing at Liverpool... )

Anyone know who's supporting them in Glasgow? Doesn't say on the website

Germany doesn't have a support either. Don't mind thougth. Maybe Elbow play longer!
