Guy Garvey: “It’s fascinating for us to revisit the atmosphere we created, and the Ritz feels like the perfect setting to capture that atmosphere. A time machine night for us and for the fans. See you there.”
On this evening’s episode of ‘Guy Garvey: From The Vaults’, the focus is on 1978, a year in which Revolver – a new, late night pop show from ATV in Birmingham – brings appearances from a host of artists including Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Rezillos and The Boomtown Rats. There are also unforgettable performances from Kate Bush, Siouxsie and The Banshees and The Jam.
