Best performance of the weekend by a country mile!

Terry Dicks
Absolutely the festival highlight. Dynamic, melodic ans wonderfully anthemic - Garvey and Elbow have it all !!!

Jane Kennedy
My personal highlight of the festival. Having seen them only weeks earlier in Delamere Forrest, I never thought their festival slot would be as fantastic, how wrong can a girl be. How can a man write such beautiful lyrics? So blown away was I, that I cut short my time with the Zutons and rammed myself into the Queens Head to partake of a blissed out intimate session of Elbow. Made my weekend!

Simply Brilliant!!!....I have waited a long while for a band with as much sincerity in their work as clarity......thank you........and thanks to the miracle of the Internet I watched this in streaming video with my feet up after a long day......GO ELBOW!!!!....GO BBC!!!!!

Moira Clamp
The most awesome band around! Loved the guitarist at the Queens Head - he smiled at me!

My favourite 'new' band. It's taken me four albums but hey who cares!

Julia Samuels
We've seen Elbow twice live, once in Bristol and once at Glastonbury Festival. They were outstanding both times, the singer has an amazing voice which he manages to keep all the way through the sets. The band members work really well together creating a tight sound. Well worth watching

I was glued to Glastonbury from the comfort of an armchair all weekend. Elbow stole the show and they were the best performance of the weekend. They're just brilliant.

Dave Lebowski
So many highlights this year, but this was up there with the best of them, must have been good as despite too much to drink, I still remember how amazing I felt during this one, still humming along days later

Kathryn Hemmings
Yes I saw them on the 'Other Stage' on Saturday afternoon.I got the front row so was very fortunate.What a lovely bloke he is!Real Northern Lad & genuinely soooo happy to be there with us!Performance by them was brilliant also their guests.We all enjoyed them tremendously!

Thought the Elbow set was absolutely fantastic. This is what music is all about. So much better than that overrated waste-of-space Winehouse. Elbow and bands like them deserve bigger and better slots than people like her.
