This week Gary and Guy are in Italy as their European tour with ‘Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets’ continues and they are playing some stunning venues.

Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt continue their UK tour this week with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets – but found time to spend even more time together to record a special episode where they chat about working with some of the best producers in the industry. It’s a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes recording process for bands like Pink Floyd and Spandau Ballet and the most amazing story about Michael Jackson that you have to hear to believe!
Plus, we dive into the Rockonteurs archive to listen to some of those producers whose names are as big as the artists they work with. We hear from Steve Lillywhite, Bob Ezrin, Hugh Padgham and Trevor Horn in a ‘Best of the Producers’ episode.

This week on Rockonteurs we welcome a true National Treasure to the series, a songwriter, a musician, broadcaster and all-round lovely bloke, it’s Guy Garvey. Guy shares his story of his working-class routes, falling in love with a broad range of music thanks to his sisters all having such eclectic tastes. He also shares how Elbow started with modest success in Bury before a slow build to the multi-Ivor Novello award winning success of ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ in 2008. You can’t miss his brilliant story on playing Battleships on a plane to America with Richard Hawley or how he researched a song about betting shops by going direct to the source material! This is a brilliant episode with a lovely man!
