From The Vaults 1984 Episode IV with Guy Garvey - TALK TALK - Mark Hollis

 FROM THE VAULTS

with 

GUY GARVEY

+ VOODOO WAGON TRIBUTES

Elbow frontman and broadcaster Guy Garvey lifts the lid on two decades of TV gold – with era-defining musical performances, long lost studio appearances and revealing interviews that have remained on the shelves for decades. 

I've been watching Guy Garvey's From The Vaults on Sky Arts television and enjoying it immensely. It does seem to contain genuine elements that have never been seen before largely from The Tube and other similar programmes Being an Elbow fan it was always going to appeal and Garvey is a fine frontman to such a programme

We got up to Episode Four yesterday and 1984 where we looked at The Style Council with a previously unseen 'Shout To The Top' and it finished with someone Guy obviously admires above many others in Talk Talk's sadly missed Mark Hollis with some deeply moving comments and clips

1984

1984: Guy looks back at 1984 and Madonna's first British TV appearance, unseen performances from Sade and The Style Council, Culture Club's Japan tour footage and more.

I Believe in You - Mark Hollis

This is the Clip from From The Vaults

Hollis retired from music to spend more time bringing up his children in 1998 and his untimely death in 2019 was a shock to us all

I had I am ashamed to say forgotten recently just how great Talk Talk and Mark Hollis' songwriting was and he is much missed and we are unlikely to see his like again. Thanks to Guy's most welcome reminder

VOODOO WAGON covered Hollis' Death and posted a couple of things really worth checking out.
