I'm amazed he didn't want to buy some off eBay sooner, partic as I have done that on 3 occassions for Muse in the past. To get so close then have to tell him the night before is a bit of a disappointment... but then if that's a disappointment life ain't bad is it

I'm also knackered, the 'stress' of keeping it secret, the emotions of going to Canada and our impending period of separation, and the mad rush to get the kitchen decorated for selling the house have all taken their toll

Wonderful story.

Looking forward to tonight alot. Doubt whether I'll have the bottle to turn up at the meet up tho!

Incredible.
Won't post any more in case folk going tomorrow are worried about spoilers (as mentioned in above post)
Only got tickets sorted at 5pm today after phoning bridgewater hall direct (someone posted on here to say more were being released).

As close to prefect as my ears will ever hear...........achingly beautiful yet joyous evening.

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 01:31

Yay Ticky glad you're home safe and sound.
Wasn't it just perfect, and we went and had a chat with Craig outside the B/W, and he was a darling-bemused probably with all our ramblings but a darling all the same Very Happy

Thankyou to everyone that made tonight so special I love you

Literally perfect.

Tonight's gig is on BBC Radio Manchester - 95.1FM or online.

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 07:41

Not gonna post any spoilers, glad you arrived home safely Ticky !

Great to meet everyone, managed to get in about 12.15am.......feel rather rough and rather tired.

God, that alarm seemed even louder at 5am today !! Apart from the sound not being quite as loud as expected (from where I was in The Gallery) it was just so beautiful, so touching and SO Elbow.

Roll on tonight and Round 2 !!

I still can't summon up words to express how extraordinary last night was - probably 'cos I only got about 3 hours sleep. I am still on a massive high. Hey, Mrs Woman, you're the wordsmith amongst us - I bet you can do justice to the evening.

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 07:54

I put a spoiler warning in MY's post just in case someones silly enough to read this thread if they're going tonight Razz

(but can i just say I am JEEEEE-LOOOUS)

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 08:42

I'm still all googly.....Craig is just....he's just.....he's.... drunken

Anfd Mark.... drunken

That magical night was what I was thinking about as I drifted off, and it was the first thing on my mind when I woke up. Perfection. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO glad we all got to share it together forum famlily!!! That's what added the icing to it! A thick layer of icing!!!

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 08:47

I've just had a severe dose of Elbow Ear Worm this morning..........my head is like a bloody jukebox of Elbow tracks and it's only gonna get worse !! cheers
