Sly Stone, Venus and terrible accents
Elbow frontman Guy Garvey brings you songs about Venus and the works of Sly and the Family Stone.
Elbow frontman Guy Garvey brings you choice showbiz stories (some apocryphal) and songs about Venus. Plus his featured artists are Sly and the Family Stone.
Elsewhere the mysterious Beckapedia gets irate about classical music and Guy proves his mastery of Antipodean accents (advance apologies to Kiwis everywhere).
