I'm stunned to hear Guy can't read or write music.  His songwriting is flawless.

@puscifer10000 sometimes those who can't read or write music are the best musicians and both Guy and Thom are no exception to that

[colesy]

I can't believe I missed this. However, Guy Garvey is the nicest man I've ever had the pleasure of meeting numerous times in and around Manchester.

[chicoritango]

I really love their accents, haha x)

And Guy. Ofcourse.

But everyone loves Guy.

@puscifer10000 Same as Dave Gilmour, his son's saxophone teacher taught him.

[JohnyVirgil]

@puscifer10000 Neither can Thom Yorke of Radiohead. In fact, he hates the idea of written music. (Silly, I know, but he's a weird guy.)

It just goes to show it's not about technical knowledge, it's about creativity oh and a lot of love!
