Guy Garvey’s Solo Adventure

Published on


Guy Garvey of Elbow has confirmed that his first solo album, ‘Courting The Squall,’ will be released by Polydor on October 30, with some live dates to support it.

The album’s initial recordings took place at Real World Studios, near Bath, and it was completed at Blueprint Studios in Salford. Garvey put together a band from his “favourite musicians outside Elbow” for the project, observing that they “moved fast and drank a lot,” keeping a live flavour with minimal overdubs.

Garvey’s long time friend and bass player Pete Jobson, from I Am Kloot, features on ‘Courting The Squall’ as lead guitarist, with Nathan Sudders from The Whip on bass. Guy’s old V2 labelmate Ben Christophers is on keyboards, and Alex Reeves on drums. Elbow’s brass section appear on certain tracks and Rachael Gladwin plays harp and kora.
