Elbow

Although the name ‘Elbow’ only came about in 1997, the band have been playing together since 1990. Fitting loosely into the alternative/indie rock genre, they’ve now released six studio albums.

Their fourth, ‘The Seldom seen kid’ won the 2008 Mercury Music Prize and in 2009 they won a Brit Award for best British group. They also wrote the BBC theme song for the 2012 London Olympics “First Steps”
