Heard Guy earlier on some interview suggesting someone they know stuck £5k on !

I was trying to persuade MrsMT to put the remainder of her BetFair account on Elbow to win...the £36 stake would have netted a cool profit of £122, but we chickened out.

Ahh At Last! ...So pleased for you Elbow,
Good that the judges and Simon Armitage on TV acknowledged the other 3 albums and the years you've been making music together king

I hope this new found fame doesn't mean you are going to charge us a subscription fee. Laughing

I am genuinely so proud of them! Bands I love I follow like I would a football team. I support them I guess. When Jools said Elbow my Mum and I cheered so much! (bless her!)

Glad they have got some recognition at last. Guy and co were clearly fairly pished but they were so overcome. For me it was between Radiohead and Elbow but Radiohead are in another league to be honest. It is nice to see the critics seeing sense for a change and not going with someone as just plain dire as Adele or that wannabe Burial guy.

Well done again boys! Very Happy:D:D

Speaking as someone who has been there since nearly the beginning I cna't say how chuffed and proud I am. Can't wait to see the boys on tour in October. This is such a richly deserved award, congratulations a million times over....

Absolutely awesome. I am so proud of these guys. They finally get the recognition that they deserve. It truly is a beautiful album.

The panel could not have said it better--"An epic rock record,'' said the judging panel in its citation of the Elbow record. "Triumphant, heartbreaking, unerringly melodic and life-affirming."

A special congrats to Craig for a spectacular job of producing the record and being as meticulous as he was to make it perfect.
