Previewing his band’s show Elbow’s Guy Garvey – who hosts a weekend show on XFM Manchester 97.7fm – admitted he was looking forward to combining his new radio career and being in a band.
“I’ve got two great jobs and when these worlds collide on April 30 magic things will start to happen,” he declared. “The fabric of the universe will tear and I may very well be sucked into the infinite abyss. It should be a great night!”
