The third video we released from the new album was for the 'You Show Me Ways' single. This was the second to be directed by the amazing Kris Boyle. Kris used some of my family snaps in the video.
Guy Garvey played the single on his BBC 6 Music show, calling it "gorgeous", and making my year. #guygarvey
'Strange Is The Way' is out Friday on Gargleblast Records on Vinyl / CD / Digital and all good streaming sites!
Yes! It was! Thank you #guyGarvey for playing it!
Kiva aina hämmästyä positiivisesti. Nälkävuoden mittaisella ”kuuntele”-soittolistalla on Elbow’n vokalistin Guy Garveyn soololevy, mikä vast julkaistiin (2015 🙀), ja siellähän oli tosi mukava savuiseen jazzbaariin sopiva biisi. #musadontti #GuyGarvey

Here is my review of Audio Vertigo, the new album by the British band Elbow. Published today in PopMatters.
Strong contender for my list of the year's best.

Oh blimey. The new #NickDrake tribute album The Endless Coloured Ways is a bit flipping special. What a line up.

Went to #Lipgloss last night. Curated by #SimonArmitage, absolute revels bag of spoken word artists and musicians (no peanuts) #MaxinePeake #JackieKay, #SamLee, #GuyGarvey, #FraserT performances still with me today and so glad I made the effort to travel!
There was a clip of #LeonardCohen relating the story below on (I think) Desert Island Discs, which #GuyGarvey played on his show today.
Obviously made me think of the line from Tower of Song:
“I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice”
And how the audience would laugh knowingly when he sang it.
Happy birthday to #GuyGarvey, born 6 March 1974.
Just this, from so many years ago, such a beautiful tribute.
