  • Guy Garvey
    Sep 18 2019
    Elbow frontman and lyricist Guy Garvey reveals the inspiration behind one of his band’s best loved songs Lippy Kids. He talks candidly about how personal grief and a feeling of frustration at British politics have led to a darker, more introspective elbow album, the forthcoming Giants Of All Sizes. Guy can’t decide which song he wishes he’d written and so John grants him both wishes.
