What about him continuously reminding listeners about “His band, Elbow”

He’s a smug self obsessed name dropping twonk
There is very few things that cause me to turn away from 6 music (because I'm a tolerant chap, and it's in the background).

But Garvey, or his band is enough to prompt me to do so.

It's his colossal self esteem that does it.

I'm sure I've heard him say "I'm doing you a massive favour here. I've discovered a niche artist called Neil Young, and he's got this great song Heart Of Gold, you'll thank me for this recommendation"

I respond with, "For Fuck's Sake man, I've got 40 of his albums on vinyl. I love Neil Young, but Heart Of Gold can fuck right off".

Thanks for listening (to my rant).
 
True but they cover that. Do they cover bestival? Genuine question, I have no idea.

Don't think so. But remember Rob Da Bank used to be on the beeb, and he now presents on Gilles Peterson's station, so close ties... I don't mind, I've always liked RDB - he's introduced me to a lot of good music over the years!

He's actually a very nice understated guy in person, as was the guitarist (i think he was the guitarist). I happened to be staying in the same hotel with them after a gig once in Bath and we got on it. The hangers on though, not so much. But I suspect that's often the case. And I highly highly doubt he said that about Neil Young.

He's definitely preferable to some of the new 'talent' they've brought in.

So true.
 
FFS. Gemma Cairney actually plays a tune I like, and want to know what it is. Then plays another, which is so-so. Rhapsodises over the second tune with loads of detail about the artist, doesn't say what the first one was :mad:

There's a twitter account that names all the songs. Can't remember off the top of the head the name of the account. Will check and come back to you.
