Shure Artists: Elbow
Elbow refer to themselves as "prog without the solos" without winking. The members of the band — vocalist Guy Garvey, drummer Richard Jupp, keyboardist Craig Potter, guitarist Mark Potter, and bassist Pete Turner — met in the early '90s at college in Bury.
Having released a couple of EP's on Manchester independent Uglyman they obtained a contract with V2, which released 2001's Asleep in the Back. The record was short-listed as a nominee for 2001's Mercury Prize.
Fast forward a number of years of being on the cusp of greatness and their fourth studio album The Seldom Seen Kid wins Britains most coveted Mercury prize, plus Outstanding Contribution To British Music Award from NME and Album of the Year from the Music Producers Guild.
