Music Box with Guy Garvey

From Leonard Cohen to Villagers

Duration: 21 minutes

In this episode, Guy brings Irish indie folk band Villagers to the limelight, and raids the archive for music from two acts they've been influenced by, Leonard Cohen and Arthur Lee & Love.

Guy catches up with Villagers frontman Connor O’Brien on stage before a gig at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester to talk about the creative process and find out what Conor is writing about.

BBC Radio 1’s new music expert Huw Stephens shares his take on Villagers' sound and musical influences. Huw also introduces a gem of a live recording. Show less
