Guy Garvey: From The Vaults (5X60’) will see the musician unearth rare concert and studio performances as well as revealing interviews with artists that have remained hidden for decades in broadcasting vaults, including ITV shows such as Central TV’s Revolver, Border TV’s Bliss and Tyne Tees Television’s The Tube.

Produced by Lime Pictures’ Leeds-based label Wise Owl Films, the second season will see each episode focus on a different year in rock history, covering 1978, 1980, 1983, 1985 and 1987.

Mark Robinson, Wise Owl Films’ creative director and executive producer, said: “For music fans who grew up in the 70s and 80s, as well as for younger fans of classic rock and pop, this new series will deliver more of our favourite artists and songs.”
