We don’t think the £20,000 cheque mattered that much to the Elbow lads, they were so clearly overjoyed at picking up one of the music world’s biggest gongs they will probably find the thing scrumpled up in one of their pocket’s today. “This is the best thing that has ever happened to us” shouted out Guy Garvey on Tuesday night celebrating the accolade awarded to them for their ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ album. “I had a tenner bet on Radiohead winning, it is so unexpected.” Bassist Pete Turner didn’t mix his words…”I live three doors down from Damon Gough who won it with his Badly Drawn Boy in 2001, so I can hold my head up high now and give him the middle finger!”. Elbow saw off some fierce competition on the night, alongside Radiohead other acts included British Sea Power, Laura Marling and hot favourites’ Burial. We salute you all…
