Exclusive photos: Guy Garvey warms up for tour at Blueprint Studios

Elbow frontman Guy Garvey is gearing up to take his magnificent debut solo album Courting The Squall on the road. To warm up for the tour, he invited some friends and family around to the band's Blueprint Studios to run through a quick rehearsal. 

Straight from the off with 'Angela's Eye's dropped, we know we were in for something special - and Courting The Squall is packed with all of the eclecticism, love, personality and charm that we've come to expect from the Finest Hour DJ.

He'll be hitting the road in December to celebrate. Full dates are below. For tickets and more information, visit here.
