The Culture Show look at why Elbow & The Halle Orchestra's successful collaboration has been so significant to Manchester International Festival and to the city itself.
Guy makes a comment during the interview re when they first played with an orchestra & how they were all terrified because none of them write or read music. I found this strange because to play an instrument, you have to be able to at least read it. Yes, you may be able to play by ear but to play an instrument properly, keys/chords etc, you have to read it. No matter, I think they sound excellent with an orchestra behind them. I'd never heard of them until a friend told me about them 7mths ago.
He's such a blood modest bloke for how talented he (and the band) is! Makes me proud to be from manchester!!
