Elbow set to take over The Castle Hotel for preview film screening at the end of the month

I saw this on Twitter last night, don't know how the heck it works or how us ordinary plebs get in, but it would be crackin'

Sounds interesting!

There is one in that there London too:
London ‘Cast’ and ‘Leaders’ deluxe DVD screening: 29 Feb @ Notting Hill Arts Club.

You can apply for tickets for both venues by emailing:
music@renegademusic.co.uk

Applied for the Manchestorrr date - fingers crossed, expectations low !

Has anyone managed to get onto the guest list, or know of anyone that has, or is it all a big swizz?

We got ours, they added another date in Manchester, Sunday 4th March.

I take it all back
We got lucky

Yah!

Going on March 4th as well, does anyone know around what time it will finish? Need to book train tickets!

It finishes about ten to nine, but worth staying a little for the 9pm raffle.

Was gutted not to have won the raffle. Had a really enjoyable night tho and had to stop myself on a number of occasions frm singing out loud. Mrs.Woman,were you there?

Just had confirmation email to say that I got on the list for Sunday!

Aye, good fun wasn't it? Thought I recognised you & your curly hair stood a couple ahead of me early on when it was all sardines, but then you (?) moved most of the way through the Cast showing and I lost you. It was a bit dark & packed to go looking for anyone till late on. Nice canvases weren't they?

With you on the singing, deffo. By halfway through Leaders I just though 'sod it!" and sang up properly!

Yes MrsWoman that was me with the curly hair.
We had to go for fresh air part way through, otherwise the Boyfriend may have melted away into a sweaty mess. Managed to get by the door at the back though after for the last part of COT and Leaders.
We then left not much after the raffle to get back.
Shame i didnt see you, as I would have bobbed over to say hello, though like you said it was very dark.
Hopefully I will see you at Jodrell

Rats for missing you, but glad you enjoyed it too. Yeah, it was a li'l bit warm & cosy in there! There must be some potential for a mad elbow karaoke night somewhere in MCR after that, surely...?

It'd be lovely to see you at JB! Maybe even potential for a mass picnic meet-up with the usual suspects?
*chin stroke ponder for the other thread*

Going to The Castle on Sunday - any tips from theose who went to the first showing?

Worth queueing up early - 6:15 - as it'll prolly be busier. Enjoy a drink before going in (check out the elbow-branded pumps!), but don't leave it long before going into the screening room as it fills up quick and it's standing room only. Don't wear anything too warm, it gets pretty cosy. Freebie posters are on a table rear left hand side. And keep your raffle ticket handy in case you win!

wonderful - many thanks!!! doors are 630 so we would be there b4 then - thanks again!!!

PERFECT!!!! The raffle tickets were kept handy as we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picked up a signed canvas of the 'Cast' album cover - thrillied!!!!!!!!!!
