Welcome to elbow room only! - Please introduce yourselves here.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who ISN'T Craig.

And that's just in day to day life.

Yo mama is Craig Potter!

very original

Well, I'm not very original till I've had my second cup of coffee.

So sorry to have been unoriginal.

Have a few beers, that'll help.

But it's not noon yet.

I'm MRS Craig Potter!

yay, this board's first example of thread rot!

I'll introduce myself properly now: I'm lee spoons (not my real name), I first fell in love with Elbow after buying LOTFW in a Tesco bargain bucket for six quid a couple of years ago, and it didn't leave my car stereo for three months, at which point I bought the first two albums

In my spare time I enjoy dwarf throwing, hedgehog taunting and producing bootlegs/mashups (I've even done a couple of Elbow ones... will post if anyone's interested)

Ooh yes, post 'em, lee. Make a thread

I'm Emma, an Elbow fan from Toronto, Canada. I created the Elbow facebook group and started listening to them about 6 years ago (since CoT). I'm a huge fan but have of yet to hear them live .

wlcome to the forum emma

Hi all-thanks for setting this up!

Elbow fan since seeing them on the same bill as Snow patrol at G-Mex (2006)

They are without doubt the living embodiment of sublime...

Hi just joined here and wanted to say hi to all you Elbow lovers out there, ive been a big fan since their first album came out, though didnt get to see them live until Camden in 2005, have seen them a couple more times since and looking forward to seeing them again tomorrow night at Rock City Nottingham, any other midlanders going tomorrow night or who are mad on Elbow? Elbow forum, great idea!

Hiya, but there is already a thread for this. Look at the top of the General Elbow forum. I would link you but cba.

Hi yes sorry about that, ive got no idea how to transfer this thread to that though if thats possible lol

All sorted

Cheers Trev Just home from the Rock City gig, ace as i expected, would have liked a few more songs from the first two albums but im just being a picky bugger now lol

Just wanted to give a shout out to Craig Potter, if that was indeed the real Craig Potter who posted.

Hi Craig! Have so much fun on tour. See you at the Webster Hall gig this month. Can't wait!

Decided its too long to wait until the summer to see them again so am heading to Brixton for tonights gig, somewhere near the front!lol Cant wait.

I doubt it's someone mucking about...If I had started a U2 forum and someone came on claiming to be Bono I'd be doubtful, but here it seems more likely, plus his posting times and log on times fit in with the timing of the gigs, and the sheer lack of comments makes me think he isn't winding us up.

Also, his email address looks like it's the kind of thing Craig would choose (without giving anything away)

I think Craig has posted on Elbow forums before so it probably is him.

Possibly. I hope so. Although, you would think we would be on the "stuff we love" area on the Elbow site if they had actually noticed that we exist.

ah, c'mon, we've only been going for 17 days! I'm sure Craig doesn't update the site himself...

yeah...it's got more to do with their record company...

True.
