SOUTH BANK SHOW

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 09:21

Following the disappointment of the book it was great to get some new material and information rather than stuff that's been around for ages.

We were all on the telly (again) at some stage (sad use of pause button and a late night for mr and mrs sparky) but Kim's mate Dave, evad on this forum, was on screen more than Melvyn Bragg!

Well done SBS

Aye, spotted you Sparky and the whole cast of - erm - dozens. I reckon Longlegs and her mates must be in line for the most replay royalties though. Wink

Good on yer!

Nice to see Irshad Ashraf - the guy who directed the Cuba tour film - listed as Producer (or Director, sorry it was late) for the show. Apparently there's no plans to release the Cuba doc, so if you want more than those few clips you might have to start your own campaign.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 09:37

Can't believe it's not on i-player. Our stupid bleeping DVD player wouldn't record, thought it was but resulted blank!! If anyone did get a copy it would be much appreciated if I could have one maybe and send a blank one to them. Can anyone oblige!!

Hi Lynne
Good news, I have it recorded Very Happy

Bad news, I don't have a dvd writer connected to burn you a copy (Yeah I know, and I make my living from technology Embarassed

)

I can get hold of one so if nobody comes up with an easier solution, I'll sort it for you

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 10:51

I recorded the show onto DVD. If people would like a copy then PM me with your name and address and I'll get a copy in the post to you.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 10:54

this was so so good ....probably the most enjoyable doc. on a band I've ever seen. Just the right mix of music and chat ... Very Happy

I've recorded it to the +box but has dumz as to how to make copies ..if I could work it out I'd be happy to do so Embarassed

What's the latest on this then mrswoman? - I first asked Irshad about the possibility of his film being shown to a wider audience, after the Elbow/Soup Collective DVD launch of LOTFW at the NFT in July 2005. I'd happened to see it mentioned on Marc Riley's BBC6 Music messageboard early 2005 as being shown by Irshad at a 'Shooting People' event in London, about making films.
Middles says in his biography that it was shown at a variety of festivals in late 2004 too, can anyone verify that? I never heard of anyone seeing it anywhere else, (apart from inner circles, of course)

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 13:28

amazing elbow film

Heres a link to the old BBC6 discussion; where I first heard of it being shown to any public.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 14:44

I'm still on a bit of a high after watching that. I've only ever really seen Guy talking, so it was great to hear the other members of the band.

Which one was Longlegs? And who was the chap singing his heart out with absolute passion? Is he one of us? (And if not, why not!)

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 15:04

Haha he is one of us....I will leave it for him to disclose his Some Riot, man's man, emotive, Elbow lovin' self... He was threatening never to leave the house again.... Laughing

I was on the TV the beginning, I grabbed Guy's bum, I am not sure what came over me....

Great show!
Craig Potter and the radiator scrape, had to be the best line.
We didn't get much Jupp action!!

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 15:12

Excellent! He HAD to be one of us. I can't imagine anyone else emoting so much. Nice one, fellow Elbowie!

By the way - how many of you have been listening to Audience today to pin point the radiator? Wink

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 19:03

I recorded to Sky+ and can run off copies to DVD. For anyone abroad I can convert it to a file playable on a computer. PM me if interested.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 19:18

I sent you a PM, hilaryg.

Thanks for your very kind offer but Mrs Woman has sorted it for me.

So pleased I'll have a copy to watch again, just in case I missed something.

Thanks once again, you Elbowies are always such thoughtful people!

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 19:42

Hey Longlegs - was that you standing to the right of 'Some Riot, man's man, emotive, Elbow lovin' self' mystery man?

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 20:38

Erm I am the man's man emotive mystery man.

And that is LongLegs next to me.

Would anyone be able to sort me out with a dvd please. I can return the favour with Elbow goodies.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 20:52

Congratulations for summing up so many of our feelings for that song!

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 21:00

I'm just glad i'm in a place people won't take the mickey out of me. Only one person at work saw it, and she was impressed rather than amused.

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 21:07

Well done mate! Watching the programme last night my immediate thoughts were "that's me at Elbow gigs, that is" Smile

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Mon 16 Nov 2009, 22:17

I think we were all singing in exactly the same way! I'm just glad they didn't get us with the sombreros on.

Haha ! remember seeing that and wishing that I was you, LL (in a heterosexual type of way !), it was a brilliant hour, spotted 3 or 4 of you that I met before the first Bridgewater show, good on the lot of you !!

Chuffed to bits for the Elboys !!

No, that's Ab next to you, she got some Some Riot power ballad TV action Smile

Not take the piss, yeah right, where's the fun in that. Laughing

Subject: Re: SOUTH BANK SHOW Tue 17 Nov 2009, 13:43

and let's face it, your arse-grabbing warrants the most piss taking

luv

Me too.

I get lost like that and don't care who sees me.

Excellent programme as well.
