The Elbow frontman and broadcaster Guy Garvey lifts the lid on two decades of TV gold – with era-defining musical performances, long lost studio appearances and revealing interviews that have remained on the shelves for decades.

Some of the unearthed gems include Kate Bush live at the Manchester Apollo that was never aired by Granada TV and Blondie’s first UK TV appearance on Granada TV’s news programme Granada Reports plus a superb version of ‘Speak Like A Child‘ by The Style Council that the band played while the cameras for The Tube were still rolling bit the show had gone off air.
