“Garvey is a singer with a band”
For those that hadn’t made the connection, BBC Radio 6 Music presenter, Guy Garvey, has a little side project; a band for whom he is the quite brilliant frontman, Elbow.
And though we wish him the very best of luck with that venture, it’s his DJ hat that we concern ourselves with today.
As you well know, Guy has the exclusive scoop on the full length version of Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime) between 14:00 and 16:00 on Sunday afternoon in the UK, on his BBC Radio 6 Music show; Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour.
And Guy himself seems rather pleased about that, as you can probably tell:
“I’m absolutely over the moon to have the exclusive on a David Bowie tune. 6 Music is about bringing focus to new music and archiving its earliest performances for the future as well as celebrating existing great music through the recordings left to us all by keepers of the flame past. Given Bowie’s influence on all branches of contemporary music, this is a beautiful acknowledgement from one of rock’s greatest innovators of all the station stands for.
I regularly lose a button over how proud I am to be part of 6 Music. I’ve just lost three.”
Nice one Guy, you seem almost as excited as we are!
