Guy Garvey's Finest Hour

Available for 28 days

It's the Big Garden Birdwatch, so Guy brings you a show that is all about the birdies. Guy is joined by Jamie Wyver, editor of the RSPB magazine, plus birdsong, bird songs and bird-related gems from the archive. Elsewhere, he's celebrating Interpol's debut album, sending birthday greetings to Etta James and John Cooper Clarke and struggling with some Scandinavian pronunciation. Meanwhile, Simon Armitage admits he was wrong, and the Beckapedia visits the library (and it's not to get a book out). Produced in Salford by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 6 Music
