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!!!

And little silver balls on top as well...

The Elbow boys were in the pub before hand, Fretwell was in the pub after. The night couldn't have been more perfect!

I'll track you all down tomorrow night, I promise.

Mrswoman, Magical Trev, can I have a copy of the Craig and Mark photo? And if anyone wants a copy of any of my photos, PM me with your email and I'll send it/them to you.

Still all giddy.....

Ace pics Sundaygirl & MT (good ones from Monday too SG). I'll post your special 'absolution' one Very Happy

with a couple more after we've watched The Culture Show back. (It's a good watch and hilarious in places: John Robb appears to want to punch Peter Pink Suit at one inflammatory point when he's slagging off Kraftwerk. Div!)

Thanks Ticky, glad you got back safe, buzzing all the way home. I might still have a crack at a review, but will leave it till after tonight so's to avoid spoilers.

For those who are only going tonight, take hankies (*sniff*) and if you've seats in the upper circle of gallery 'gods' it's worth begging or borrowing a pair of binoculars, particularly if you're used to hovering round the front at gigs!

Still floating on a cloud of Elbowie loveliness. Later dudes! x

Subject: Re: Elbow & The Hallé Orchestra Thu 09 Jul 2009, 10:26

What a wonderful, wonderful photo of you all! I am absolutely thrilled you all got to meet them after - especially you SG. What a cracking end to an exceptional night!

My head is still spinning!!!! What a great guy he is!

Oh, word of warning though...he knows ALL!!! Elbow action figures, Church of Elbow....everything!!! LOL!!!

My fave moment of the night was when I told Mark that Dave was MT and he exclaimed "You're MagicalTrevor!" and gave him a big hug Smile

He's obviously a lurker, he said his mum had told him about the forum... come on Mark, sign up cheers
