Elbow - Adriana Again
Today marks 25 years since the release of ‘Asleep in the Back’.

Originally released on 7th May 2001, elbow’s debut album introduced tracks including ‘Red’, ‘Newborn’, ‘Powder Blue’ and ‘Scattered Black and Whites’, and was later shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize.

To mark the anniversary, a selection of archive videos, live footage and clips from the long out-of-print ‘Asleep in the Back’ film are now being made available on the band’s official YouTube channel for the first time.

Inspired By Libraries

Guy Garvey joins Shaun Keaveny for Inspired By Libraries, a one-off live event at Manchester Central Library on Thursday 5 June, from 8.00pm to 9.00pm.

Presented by Manchester City of Literature, the evening will explore themes of music, memory, creativity, community and the role libraries play in our cultural lives — all in the warm, thoughtful style you’d expect from two of Manchester’s most distinctive voices.

They’ll also be discussing elbow’s brand new EP, Audio Vertigo Echo elbow EP5, which is released the following day on 6 June.

The event is free to attend with a donation option. Book tickets here
