We're quite sure you'll soon love them as much as we do.

theyre not bad

i like the complex guitar parts, and the rhythm's in their songs.

just think they need a bit more variaton though

not the most exciting support act, could have been much worse though!

I like what I've heard, I think they'll fit well as a support band...I liked Two Gallants from the tour earlier last year but they just didn't seem to GO with Elbow...anyone understand what I mean? scratch

I'm very happy with The Acorn as support.

Glory Hope Mountain is better than good, I'll definitely be getting to Blackpool on time.

With regard to last year; I enjoyed Two Gallants at Leeds (but I know what you mean al)
I Am Kloot were excellent as expected at Delamere and (I'm sorry to say, cos it's a great album and she's a great artist) I was a bit disappointed with Jesca at the Apollo. Probably not Jesca's fault though, we were stood at the front and I couldn't easily hear her above the general background noise. I'd told my mates about her and we had great expectations

I think the band put a lot of thought into the Support act, allowing us to hear things that they like (and think that we might like) and giving the artist exposure to a wider audience. I'd always turn up to see the elbow "special guests"
Happy New Year everyone
