ENJOYING the most successful year of their career, the outstanding and recently crowned Mercury Prize winners Elbow play at the Newport Centre next year.

Scooping the accolade for their current album, The Seldom Seen Kid, Elbow have made themselves arguably the most popular winners of the award ever.

And they have recently completed a sell out UK tour, including three nights at London’s Roundhouse and a double header at their home town’s Manchester Apollo.

The Seldom Seen Kid was proclaimed as one of the albums of the year by many critics on its release in March of this year and has gone on to be the band’s most successful record to date.

Lead single Grounds For Divorce rapidly became a classic and soundtracked the trailer for current Coen Brothers film Burn After Reading.

And the album’s second single, the anthemic One Day Like This, is one of 2008’s most memorable songs.

Elbow come to the Newport Centre on Thursday, March 12.

Tickets are available online at www.gigsandtours.com, on 01633 622 666 or the 24-hour credit card hotline 0871 2200 260.
