Space Required:
The band has a seven-piece line up, and need a stage space of 6x8 metres approx – but hence the name no venue is too small.
Their show can be formatted in 3 ways:
You can choose a standard format of 2 x 45 minute sets, 2 x 60 minute sets or 3 x 40 minute sets. Essentially, the keyword here is flexibility! Just specify your requirements and they will design a package that suits you.

What will the band look like:
The band can tailor their look to suit your needs on the night.

Below is the Review by Mark Ritchie from "The Stage" magazine after their appearance at the Unit One 2008 Showcase (as seen above):-

"Bringing a highly successful showcase to a close was smart seven-piece band The Elbows. The best song from the Killers album Hot Fuss Mr Brightside was enthusiastically played, but I'm sure that like most good function bands, this boy and girl fronted outfit probably have a huge repertoire to call upon."
