An evening with Guy Garvey!

And of course it goes without saying it was lovely to meet you all and thank you to Sundaygirl for wearing the badge so I could spot you!

Hope Jones' flight was ok.

A great account / review mrs woman....thanks
Puts my previous review of "An excellent event last night" to shame. I don't think I quite managed to convey how special an evening it actually was

While I'm on, can anyone tell me what the last song was before the interview started please?
I know Dave Haslam said what it was but I didn't catch it.

Cheers

Great, great night!
And what a pleasure to meet you all.
Really looking forward to the Halle gigs for the music and the company!

The track was "Cariad" by J-Walk Feat. Guy Garvey

Sounds great!

edit: Someone, please remind me to log out before Sarah gets home! She's right though, that J-Walk song is class

Thankyou Mrs W, I was so giddy last night I'd forgotten half of what was said.
Great photos too

Hello all
Been meaning to post since Monday night. I was there as the Culture Show interview was being filmed, hanging around with my sister. It was so funny when Guy appeared and sat down. I recognised Jones from her profile pic and I could see that you were all in bits!! I spilled coffee all over myself in my haste to sit down. My sister was more concerned about avoiding the cameras! GG walked right by us as he walked off - I was a nervous wreck!. Anyway, looking forward now to tomorrow night and hope all of you going tonight have a great time - no doubt you will!! Hxx

We were all on TV!!

Anyone who missed The Culture Show last night can watch it online on The Culture Show website. It's going to be on for the next 6 days.

Ha, I just watched it! Look at you all, playing it cool

Loved the whole evening. There was a really nice vibe whilst watching the Culture Show filming. Very relaxed... And Lauren Laverne looks even hotter in real life

The evening with Guy was superb. Really good to get an insite to some of the songs, and to hear about his life in general. I thought he was very open and honest as he answered some difficult questions about past relationships etc. What a charming & witty man. It amazes me to see just how grounded he has remained throughout everything that has gone on.

How did you all act so cool? I would have been sat their giggling and generally making an idiot of myself. Good job I didnt go after all ..eh?

When Guy mentioned he admired Alan Bennett's work at the "Audience with Guy Garvey" I decided to check out some of his monologues. I'd read some stuff years ago but I thought I'd revisit it.

The first story I read was "A chip in the sugar" , published in 1988
Halfway down the first page are the words "elbow room"

Imagine Bennett predicting Magical Trevor would start a forum more than 20 years before it happened.
A great northern writer and a bit of a modern day Nostradamus

Maybe the audience with Guy contains more hidden messages, I'm going to re-read mrs woman's review again.
