S7E9: Guy Garvey

This week on Rockonteurs we welcome a true National Treasure to the series, a songwriter, a musician, broadcaster and all-round lovely bloke, it’s Guy Garvey. Guy shares his story of his working-class routes, falling in love with a broad range of music thanks to his sisters all having such eclectic tastes. He also shares how Elbow started with modest success in Bury before a slow build to the multi-Ivor Novello award winning success of ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ in 2008. You can’t miss his brilliant story on playing Battleships on a plane to America with Richard Hawley or how he researched a song about betting shops by going direct to the source material! This is a brilliant episode with a lovely man!
