Leicester crowd hears new album preview

Elbow premiered new material at their Summer Sundae festival headline slot in Leicester last night (August 11).

The band unveiled two songs, as well as playing a host of favourites as they closed the first night of the three-day event.

The new tunes were the piano-led 'Good Day', and the Nick Cave-esque 'Brambles'.

The set also included old favourites such as 'Red', 'Forget Myself', 'Switching Off' and 'Any Day Now' .

Other bands who played on a rainy day in the Midlands were Delays and Richard Hawley.

The festival continues today with a headline slot from Gomez. Belle & Sebastian close the final night on Sunday (August 13).
