From The Vaults Series 4

From The Vaults Series 4

Guy Garvey’s ‘From The Vaults’ returns to Sky Arts this evening for a fourth series, with Guy continuing to unearth era-defining musical performances, long lost studio appearances and revealing interviews that have remained on the shelves for decades.

Tonight’s episode focuses on 1978, and the continuing punk rock revolution. Watch as The Undertones make a very early TV outing on Granada, Tony Wilson catches up with Buzzcocks on location in Manchester, and Janet Street Porter chats with Johnny Rotten about life after the Sex Pistols.

Elsewhere cult ATV show Revolver captures some legendary live sets from X-Ray Spex, The Only Ones and Rich Kids, and Guy looks back at a classic performance from influential reggae collective Steel Pulse.

Binge the entire series now, or tune in every Friday night on Sky Arts (freeview channel 11) at 10:15pm.
