Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has confirmed the details of his debut solo album ‘Courting The Squall‘.
As earlier promised, the record was crafted with a little help from his friends – namely Nathan Sudders of The Whip, Pete Jobson from I Am Kloot, and Ben Christophers and Alex Reeves at Bath’s Real World Studios and Salford’s Blueprint Studios.
Garvey says the tracks do not ‘fit the Elbow template’, and of the recording process adds: “We moved fast, drank a lot and had what can only be described as a massive laugh along the way.”
It’s released on October 30th and will be supported with two nights apiece at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London and Manchester’s Albert Hall this December, as well as a date at the ABC in Glasgow.
Tour dates:
DECEMBER
London, Shepherd’s Bush Empire (1, 2)
Manchester, Albert Hall (4, 5)
Glasgow, O2 ABC (8)
