Speaking about their new live album elbow’s Guy Garvey said:

“Given we should be seeing 100,000 of you fans on this tour we thought we’d bring forward the release of a record we made at the end of last year – Live at The Ritz. We have a long history with The Ritz, hanging around there as teenagers. Monday night was indie night and where we found our people but never got a snog. It was a really warm atmosphere in a room we’ve got a ton of history with, one of the best venues in Manchester, one of the best venues in the world.  We hope it goes someway to fixing your disappointment at not being able to see us for the moment”. 

In the week that their eighth studio album, “Giants of All Sizes”, became their third consecutive UK Number One album, Elbow played a series of special acoustic shows for select audiences in Leeds, Kingston and Manchester. Combining tracks from the new album with songs from their extensive and ever growing back catalogue, the shows offered fans a rare opportunity to see Elbow in small venues, with the recordings emphasising the special bond that exists between the band and their fanbase.
