Greenlit: Music Box with Guy Garvey, BBC iPlayer

Each episode will also feature a member of the BBC Music radio family to share their views and expert insight about their shared musical loves. Guests include Radio 2’s Bob Harris to 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews, Tom Ravenscroft and Lauren Laverne.

The show will feature exclusive and unseen footage, from musical performances to brand-new videos as well as backstage interviews with Guy’s chosen artists. Guy will also delve into the BBC’s archive to curate a selection of classic performances. This will be the place to hear and see great music, no matter what genre – to consider what influences current artists and how the music of the past is still shaping the music of the present.

Follow Guy wherever the music takes him, from Elbow’s studio in Salford all the way to a converted studio block in Gothenburg, Sweden. Through chats on stage at sound-check to sessions at home in his attic, the Elbow frontman discusses his craft with the artists he feels passionately about at the moment.
