Guy Garvey's Radio 6 Sunday Programme
Did other members hear the recent playing of 'Do You Dream In Colour' on Guy Garvey's Radio 6 Sunday afternoon programme on (I think) August 30th? The track was selected by the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage who chooses a must listen to album each week and selects a track to play. Simon introduces the album and spoke about buying the 'Quit Dreaming And Get On The Beam' album and offered some background into its creating / recording in a small village hall? Interestingly Guy Garvey had not heard of Bill and was going to investigate further music of his! I don't know whether the programme is available to listen to on a playback facility - possibly BBC Sounds?
I also recall that Simon's chosen album the week before was David Sylvian's 'Gone To Earth' and the track chosen was one with Bill on guitar?
Just watched an interview with Simon Armitage on BBC News.
Today is National Poetry Day and Simon has written a poem about Covid and the lockdown to commemorate the event. He seems like a nice guy. 😉
