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

Well done again elbow, have a drink on me... although they look like they might have had a few to many already. Ah what the hell, one more wont hurt. Laughing

Subject: Bloody marvellous Tue 09 Sep 2008, 22:11

Thoroughly deserved win and fantastic to see the band looking so happy. And giggly. Laughing

Can't wait for next month's gigs.

Subject: Re: Mercury Prize Tue 09 Sep 2008, 22:16

nice one

Subject: Re: Mercury Prize Tue 09 Sep 2008, 23:12

YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

And about friggin' time too, may I say....

Three cheers and a raised glass (or two) from the other side of the pond for the boys - they deserve it and I am THRILLED!! Woooooo hooooooo!!!!!

cheers

Subject: Re: Mercury Prize Tue 09 Sep 2008, 23:29

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

Way to go boys! cheers

I had chills watching the Tower Crane performance. *shiver*

Subject: Re: Mercury Prize Wed 10 Sep 2008, 00:19

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....

Subject: Re: Mercury Prize Wed 10 Sep 2008, 06:10

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.
