Planets, Zombies and a Watermelon Double

Guy Garvey brings his own unique taste to 6 Music. Planets, Zombies and a Watermelon Double.

Guy Garvey brings his own unique taste to 6 Music so expect music from the likes of Alice Phoebe Lou, Yo La Tengo and Herbie Hancock.

There's pontificating over planet Pluto in the archive, and the always insightful Beckapedia imparts her wonderful knowledge of the Tierce de Picardie.

There's also an appearance from the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, and Guy sends birthday wishes to your actual Stephen Fry.

Plus, expect a Watermelon Double and an album focus on Alabama Shakes' 'Sound & Color'.
