Guy Garvey Appreciation Thread

Well, there's a Craig thread so why not a guy thread?

I don't know what I should write other than

- great singer (BEAUTIFUL touching voice)
- great songwriter (BEAUTIFUL touching lyrics)
- great man (just BEAUTIFUL ) In my opinion. I don't like gym guys a lot. And his "shifting weigth" ;-) fits soooo perfectly to his voice (or the other way round!)

I think I'll agree with you on all fronts there, great guy, great singer, and great songwriter He just rocks overall

Oh god, i said great guy, didn't I? Well, I'll just say, pun intended then

I surely do appreciate Guy.

I love him, love him, love him

Guy's lyrics are thoughtful and evocative , I can't think of a a writer around at the moment writing lyrics of such high quality, he's a very talented bloke, with a lovely voice

Genius.
Beautiful, beautiful words.
The man's a poet.
And very much appreciated by this simple soul!

..agreed. Being someone who likes the lyrical meaning of songs,
I love not only the poetry, but the gritiness and honesty of them.

one of the most loveable, honest, intelligent, whitty, likeable, genius, amazing, romantic, blue-collar, thoughtful blokes ever to exist. He is a true person; theres no facade or made up image. He is who he is and we all love him for it.

id love to meet him. i am actually jelous of his friends, cus he'd be such a good friend to have.

love him to bits

Meeting him is even better than imagining what it's like to meet him.

God, I sound gay again.

You forgot sexy.

Did I just say that out loud??!

Hey MT, no need to be ashamed of your man crush. It's all good. We all understand. *snigger*

Anyone know a good divorce solicitor?

Its ok MT, you know that I'm a lesbian for Katie Sackhoff

There's something hugely attractive about a big, bluff, northern bloke singing achingly beautiful lyrics. He is, in my opinion, the most talented lyricist that this country has ever produced (which is a high accoldade from me - being a devoted Morrissey fan). Part of me would love to meet him - but I guess one should never meet ones heroes for fear that they will either disappoint or dislike you!

You should not be concerned about meeting Guy, very down to earth, very happy to talk to fans, and I think he enjoys it as well. Though when we met him, we were all totally arseholed.

That's certainly how he comes across. But fear I may be an incoherent imbecile in his presence!

Well, I was, he didn't seem to mind.

Mind you, like I said, so was he.

This is what he sang that night.

Completely brilliant!! Where and when was that??!!

The Roadhouse, Christmas party last year, 22 Dec.

I was your talented cameraman.

Well it looks like a bloody brilliant night!

You're making us all jealous, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... I WANNA MEET HIM!!!!

Guy is a real gent, as are all the band. I did think he had the voice of an angel, admittedly one who'd lived a little, but having seen that video I now know he's very human after all!

I think so too. There are only a few singers that could sing the telephone book and I would be touched.
Guy's one of them!

hahaha i like that i think someone on the stephen fry forum said something similar about him

Who are the others?
