Guy Garvey: ‘I have a long history of failed relationships, toxic and drug-fuelled’

'Nobody takes home any more money than anyone else in the band. With the best will in the world, if one of you is driving a Ferrari, that’s the end, isn’t it?,' Guy Garvey says

“We got together on Saturdays in a scout hut where we tried to grow mushrooms in pieces of bread on top of the boiler – that didn’t work. We smoked Berkeley Red because we were a garage band, and that was a garage cigarette. We had Monster Munch because that was the garage crisp. It was all about the kind of band we were, but we never did a gig.

Inside the Garda Armed Support Unit: ‘You see things no one should ever see – shootings, murders and stabbings’ If you’ve got kids, and you are lucky enough to get to think for long periods and stare out of a window, you straight away go into wondering about how they are doing 'As for melancholy, well, there’s a purity to it, a steadiness, a predictability, and I think it’s an exquisite feeling,' says Guy Garvey

Processing joy and despair through their music is a type of therapy that Garvey and Potter are inordinately grateful for. “We gather around whoever’s in trouble, don’t we, Mark? And we always have, albeit in perhaps in a predictably stoic, northern-English-male way.” Garvey mimes shuffling with his arms by his side. “We would just kind of surround them and stay there till they’re all right again.”
