No longer the seldom seen kids of the British music scene, 2008's Mercury Prize has thrust Guy Garvey and his Elbow cohorts firmly into the spotlight. Mammoth album sales and even bigger live shows followed as the Manchester group rode on a rocket of critical and commercial success that has continued through the release of this year's Build a Rocket, Boys!
Glastonbury holds fond memories for the band, who recorded Grace Under Pressure here with the help of the festival faithful in 2002. They arrived in 2011 in time to celebrate their 20th birthday as a band, and Mr Garvey duly led one of the biggest choruses of the weekend as the Saturday sun set on the Pyramid Stage.

What a birthday present! Been an Elbow fan since "Asleep in the Back". Listen to Guy's programme every Sunday, as well. Can't wait to hear them again live. Saw Elbow last summer for the first time at All Points West (New York festival). Couldn't stop singing. Will be up front and center for their New York date at Terminal 5 in September.

The most adventurous musicians to come out of the UK since the Beatles imho. A super bunch of guys.

Without doubt whilst a lot of the sets are probably technically good, these guys actually enthuse and get into the audience.I never thought "Seldom seen kid" would be beaten. I was wrong after hearing the anthemic "The birds".

I've managed to see all the set list last night via BBC3, BBC2 and the red button service, but haven't seen "Weather to Fly" - is it available? Would love to have seen the whole set list all together in once place on the TV, Elbow blew Coldplay away :)
