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

I'm loving the number of fellow prog-heads signing up here, affirms my feeling that Elbow are a modern prog band (though without the solos, as Guy says).

Welcome yesman, but what about Genesis?

Welcome to the family, Yesman!

Only kiddin', I know the one you mean Hello!

Thanks for all the welcome posts !! Much appreciated.

Yes I am a big Genesis fan although more the earlier Peter Gabriel era. They were so innovative.

PS As I write this , I just heard Mirrorball on the TV...I think it was a trailer for something on Channel 5 tonight !!! Spooky or what !!

Hello!

I've been coming on here for quite a while with Mr prestwichred143, but I thought it was time I registered in my own right!
Hello to everyone and hi to Olivia and Kim.
So excited about our Elbow week in July....I can hardly sleep. In fact, last night, I dreamt the Bo's played Wembley Stadium and Guy didn't want to sing Grounds so he asked me to do it! What a nightmare!

Hello Yesman and mrsprestcwichred143!
(from another Mrs)

Hi all! Been a fan of Elbow for a few years now. I live in Fife, Scotland, and planning on starting an Elbow tribute band. And no, we won't be called 'Arse'.

Hi Anydaynow, welcome.

A tribute band you say? Interesting idea...

I thought so, too.

Also, are the tricks you do ever-so clever?

Indeed they are, but I am saddened that my music is now re-worded for a Yellow Pages advert!

I was saddened by that also. Being an Admin, you should be able to tell me why I can't put my age in my profile... when I put in the year 1986 it seems to think that I'm over 99 years old and won't allow me to do it!

No idea...check for spaces in the year field?

Try different years as well. Mine (um, 1970) works fine.

I tried 2086 and it said the same thing.

Well, I'm only a year away from you Magical Trevor, but also tells me I'm over 99 years old and thus not accepted.

The ageism of it all!!

There is a bug that forumotion are aware of and will fix.

Hello, My name's Elaine and I live in the U.S. I've been an elbow fan since Asleep.... and I am thrilled beyond belief at the recognition elbow are FINALLY receiving. It's about time! I hope they play some more headlining gigs here soon....

Anyway, I was really happy to find this forum, and I'll look forward to catching up with all the posts!

Welcome, Elaine

Good to have you with us, Elaine!
As the saying goes: 'There are no strangers here, just friends we haven't met yet!'

After years of handing out Elbow albums and telling folks it would change there lives it is lovely to find people I don't have to convert!

It's great, innit!?
Welcome to the forum, Danyadoi

Hi,
Have liked Elbow since Cast of Thousands, but since Seldom Seen Kid came out, I have been totally converted. What with the box set, and the Wembley Gig it's been a great time to get into a band in a big way.

Hi John, with a name like that I assume you will want to check out the Genesis thread...

Hello,
my name's steve (issteve isn't a part of my real name). I'm 21 and a recently acquired elbow fan, but they're fast becoming my favourite i think (and taking over poor arcade fire).

Steve

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum.

Hi - big thanks to my daughter for playing Elbow whilst visiting me. That was more than a year ago. Have all albums now and travelling when I can to see them. Happy to see I'm not one of the oldest in the audience. Missed their Delamere gig !!! BIG PITY!!
