Wise Owl Films in Leeds has secured 3 more series of its music documentary series, Guy Garvey: From the Vaults.
The Lime Pictures’ factual label will make 15 new episodes of the programme, with the Elbow frontman curating clips of his favourite songs and performers from the 70s, 80s and 90s.
“I’ve always been obsessed with recording and capturing moments in time with sound and pictures. We only have the last 100 years documented in that way and as the seconds, minutes, days, months and years tick away the value of these vital social documents climb and climb,” said Garvey.
“The reason I love making From The Vaults is that it’s not just ‘look at the way we were’ but ‘look at how we got here’. I’m delighted to be going back into the music archives once again for this series.”
The performances are sourced from the ITV Archive, from Granada Television’s Celebration and The Other Side of Midnight to Tyne Tees’ Razzmatazz.
“We have been delighted by music fans’ reactions to the first two series – these moments tell the story of a time when live music was a daily occurrence on British television, from kids TV to chat shows, arts series to even at the end of regional TV news,” said Wise Owl Films’ Creative Director and Executive Producer Mark Robinson.
“It’s rewarding to have a format that enables us to pluck them out of the past and share them with Sky Arts’ viewers – it’s like seeing old friends for the first time in decades”.
The next new series will air later this year on Sky Arts, Freeview and NOW.
