Just found this on youtube, Tom Jones saying on the red carpet at the Q Awards that a collaboration with Elbow is "in the works" Very interesting. Tom also gives Coldplay a mention aswell, good work Tom that's what we like to see :D

*cough* Guess who's going to see these guys live on Wednesday? *end cough* ;)

*cough* guess who saw them back in April before they were famous *end cough*

*cough* anyone got any cavornia? :rolleyes:

I know ;)

 

Someone at work has just discovered them and he acting like he knows everything about them :rolleyes:

i hate it when people do that....my mate suddenly decided she was a bigger coldplay fan than me...and im pretty sure she hasnt even bought any of their albums :laugh3:

*cough* Guess who also saw them back in April, and saw them in Delamere Forest and nearly caught pneumonia, so will actually have seen them three times this year *end cough* ;)

Of the 2 elbow shows I have seen this year, the acoustic set they did at Glastonbury beats Bristol.

 

Mainly for Switching Off

*cough*

 

they really deserved Mercury Prize :)

What time have Jessica Hoop and Elbow been coming on at?

Went to the gig at Liverpool Uni last night - they were awesome. I saw them once before in 2001, and they were good then, but now they are truly brilliant.

 

Top night - though the crowd left a little to be desired

I was there too Alison, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Newborn was gorgeous, Weather To Fly was amazing, Leaders Of The Free World was mental, as was Grounds For Divorce. I got a set list at the end too - I'll post it... unless anyone who's going to see them soon doesn't want it spoiled?

jealous! SPOIL ME!

He's so good live.

 

We got there late because of all those bloody roadworks! Missed the support entirely and was stuck quite near the back, where people just decided to talk whenever they felt like it! :angry:

 

Think Weather to Fly was my favourite - that and One Day Like This (I'm a sucker for confetti! :P)

Starlings

Bones Of You

Leaders Of The Free World

I bought Jesca Hoop's CD and EP after the gig so I'll upload them for you if you want.

What kind of music did she do?

 

I loved how Guy gave her album a little plug and then laughed at the fact that "no one calls them records anymore"

Jesca's 'genre' on MySpace is down as "Mad Music". Quite quirky, dreamy - acoustically anyway, not listened to the full band CD yet. Guy introduced her and said, "It's only her becuase we couldn't afford to bring the rest of her band!" - bless.

 

Have a listen here...

Guy: "Mark's kid did his first poo in a potty today! It'll be 'Here's a tenner now f**k off to the cinema' before you know it" :P

 

Fan to Guy: "I want your kids!"

Guy: (In shock) "You have my kids or you want my kids?!"
