Elbow make return, reveal tour dates

By Alex Young on February 13th, 2008

Elbow performed for the first time in nearly two years last night at the Porchester Hall in London.

Augmented by viola, cello and female backing singers, the five-piece played a fistful of songs from their new album The Seldom Seen Kid, released next month. Tracks played last night from the new LP included single ‘Grounds for Divorce’, ‘The Loneliness Of a Tower Crane Driver’ and ‘One Day Like This’, which already had the crowd singing its chorus at the frontman’s behest.
