That is going to be one unique gig (here's hoping I win a ticket)!

Away on holiday Crying or Very sad

Always thought the choir on BARB gave the album a religious feel. Should sound awesome in St. Pauls!

26th is my birthday and the 1st anniversary of my Mums death, yes my Mum died on my birthday, great eh?
This would be an even more intense day if i could get in......might have to dress up as a Bishop and get in the back.
Should be a great gig.

How can we all make sure we win?! Everything crossed for us all. Maybe as i missed my chance to meet 1 of my heroes,archbishop tutu, the nite i chose to see elbow at the o2, god will compensate by letting me win? Reckon theres about as much chance of that as me buying a cheryl cole cd!

Big love to everyone x

I've gone in for it - hope I don't win - can't afford the journey to London ! scratch

By the way, if anyone wins, i live in London and you can stay at mine - as long as i have the other ticket if you can bring a guest! Unless of course you have criminal convictions or worse, support spurs...
Genuine offer!

The Crypt of St Paul’s is the largest in Europe, and is the final resting place of some of the nation’s greatest heroes, poets and scientists, including Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. The Crypt is available for evening corporate events, and can cater for dinner for up to 250 people, and receptions for 350.

Wonder how many will enter the competition.
I'd already planned to see these guys play in Hither Green that night, at this place.
More likely to get in.

Hey guys, Freddy here from Absolute Radio. Just thought i'd tell you fans that there's a high quality video of the entire Elbow gig up on the Absolute Radio website. It's been recorded in the FLAC (Fully Lossless Audio Codec) format which means that instead of being compressed like most mp3 tracks every detail is recorded, so no quality is lost at all. It was a really amazing, emotional gig so I recommend watching it.
Here's the link: http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/artists/Elbow/article/3928-Elbow+at+St.+Paul's+Cathedral
Please enjoy. Cheers Freddy.
