10 YEARS SINCE FIRST FORMING, MANCHESTER’S ELBOW HAVE SUDDENLY BECOME A BIG BAND. THREE
SHOWS AT THE 02 IN LONDON IS TESTAMENT TO THAT. BEFORE HEADING TO THE CAPITAL, ELBOW PLAYED
TO A PACKED BRIGHTON CENTRE. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SMALLEST VENUE ON THEIR UK TOUR, BUT THEY
BROUGHT THEIR FULL ARENA SHOW AND WOWED THE AUDIENCE WITH SOME STUNNING LIGHTING AND
CREATIVE USE OF VIDEO. IN GUY GARVEY, ELBOW HAVE AN UNLIKELY LOOKING FRONTMAN, BUT BOY CAN
HE SING! SONGS FROM THE BAND’S EXCELLENT NEW ALBUM ‘BUILD A ROCKET BOYS!’ FORMED THE CORE OF
A HIGHLY INTIMATE AND EMOTION-FILLED LIVE SHOW. IT WAS GREAT TO WATCH, BUT CHALLENGING TO
SHOOT. A THRUST STAGE CONFINED PHOTOGRAPHERS TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER AND WITH LIVE VIDEO
ON A DOLLY IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, IT ALL MADE FOR A TIGHT SQUEEZE. AS OFTEN HAPPENS, THE
LIGHTING ONLY GOT INTERESTING AFTER THE FIRST THREE SONGS, WHICH IS ALL I WAS ABLE TO SHOOT. SO
WHILE THESE IMAGES CAPTURE THE BAND ON STAGE, THEY DON’T REALLY CONVEY THE FULL VISUAL
SPLENDOUR OF WATCHING ELBOW LIVE.
