The song she played on the Mercury show gave me a right buzz, so I got her album. Still loving that song, Night Terror... wicked. Smile

I'm with you leo, she has great style.

Luckily, I'm living in Holland, which is great for this concert! I'm a big fan of Laura and Elbow, so I'm massively looking forward to it. Anyone else going?

Well, it was great, but I'm almost certainly not going to see them for another year or more, so don't be too jealous! Very Happy

But yeah, it was great. Theres a youtube video of leaders of the free world already up, just search 'elbow eindhoven'. I made a thread about it in Elbow Patch too, to try and find if anyone else went there. Hopefully someone took a video of Laura, but the crowd wasn't that enthusiastic about her. The first 3-4 rows were loving it, but the rest were chatting really loudly. Evil or Very Mad

. But oh well. She's not as famous, so I guess that's why...

That's exactly what it was like with Jesca huh, rude audience! I was hoping they'd get that sorted =|

It might be a dutch thing, at least thats what I found when I've been to other concerts here. Also, Laura is quite different from Elbow in quite a few respects, which probably didn't help.

What was impressive though was how she playedl the songs with just one bloke, Marcus, who alternated between a greatly simplified drum kit, an accordion and a ukelele. At one point he was playing the bass drum with his foot, shaking a little egg thing with one hand (percussion, not sure what its called) and playing the accordion with the other hand. During My Manic And I, I believe. Very skillful!

Check out Marcus' band Mumford and Sons, they are equally as amazing:
