The Bury rock band remain in fine fettle, 33 years on from their formation.
As he walks onstage with his four bandmates at Leeds’s First Direct Arena, Elbow singer Guy Garvey punches the air with his right fist. Such an act might on the face of it seem triumphalist before a note has even been played; however, it’s soon apparent that the 50-year-old is more than a little excited at being back in this corner of West Yorkshire.
Lines such as “I’ve broken jaws protecting laws” suggest that conversation with his new drinking buddy was lively. Fly Boy Blue/Lunette makes good use of trumpet, saxophone and trombone; Jesca Hoop, the American-born, now Manchester-based singer-songwriter who is among their backing singers tonight, provides a soaring vocal during Dexter & Sinister. The bouncy Balu celebrates “lots of big, brainy, hairy, hedonistic friends” of Garvey’s “living and dead”.
