Guy Garvey’s Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker presents her selection of the best new genre-defying music and welcomes Guy Garvey into the Listening Chair to share a track that transports him elsewhere.

Elizabeth Alker presents her usual pick of the very best new tracks from the worlds of ambient and neo-classical music. She also welcomes to the Unclassified Listening chair one of the best-loved frontmen (and more recently ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ DJs) at work in Britain today: Elbow’s Guy Garvey. Since forming the band in the early 1990s with friends from his sixth form college, Guy’s won millions of fans and numerous awards for his inimitable songwriting and tender but powerful singing style. The track that he turns to to take him elsewhere is a β€œbeautiful, ambient, transportive” song by one of his favourite bands, Talk Talk.
