Anything Bad for Me

last weekend

Stay This Way was not a song intended for me, but after a session with Kevin Hutchens in LA, me in London, I knew that I couldn't let it go. 
A song recorded in the legendary Strongroom Studios, London where the likes of Anne-Marie, Olivia Rodrigo, the Spice Girls have written and recorded, Stay This Way came to life. 
I am thrilled to be embarking on a full UK tour after a sold-out show in London in May post the release of Where Do I Lay All The Love I Have Left dropped.

Notes For A New Year

I hear him on the radio talking, 
I watch him on the TV news, 
Some people tell me he’s a popular fella, 
Some people say they disapprove

On the surface he’s an intellectual, 
On the surface he’s a leader of men, 
I really want to get to know him better, 
I really want to be his friend

He isn’t left, he isn’t right, 
There’s no one specific in my mind, 
He’s a preacher to the choir, 
He’s a cheater, he’s a liar

And we hate him like nobody does, 
We love him…

All he wants is a master narrative, 
Something on which he can rely and build his life around, 
He took a look at religion and bits of conflicting political thinking, 
For all it’s worth, 
And now he’s one stop on the train from his heaven on Earth

I tell you what I think he’s really not worth much more than the price of a ticket to the circus, 
But I find no one likes a visit to the circus like I do… 

He isn’t left, he isn’t right, 
There’s no one specific in my mind, 
He’s a preacher to the choir, 
He’s a cheater, he’s a liar

And we hate him like nobody does, 
We love him…

All he wants is a master narrative, 
Something on which he can rely and build his life around, 
He took a look at religion and bits of conflicting political thinking, 
For all it’s worth, 
And now he’s one stop on the train,
One stop on the train,
One stop on the train from his heaven on Earth…

Pardon me boy, 
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo? 
Can you afford, 
To board the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Pardon me boy, 
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Places You Are - Hallworth

Garvie is a songwriter who spent too much time playing video games during lockdown… now he’s trapped in one.

That’s OK though – life in the real world wasn’t for Garvie. He spent years writing for other artists and cutting his teeth on the London live scene, but the lightbulb moment came when the gigs stopped, the Gameboy turned on and he learned to produce during 2020.

Garvie was forced to immerse himself in creating a sound of his own for once. What emerged was a sound-world that mixes the signature guitar grooves and bigger choruses of his past writing projects with the synths and cheeky 8-bit throwbacks of his new videogame existence. This sound is complemented by his animated DIY videos which use retro gaming graphics and Instagram filters to tell his story.

Lyrically Garvie is straight-talking with a touch of the dramatic and an unshakeable dry sense of humour. These are complemented by a voice which Frank Turner once commended for its authenticity.

With his first three singles Garvie has received airplay from BBC Radio 6 (Tom Robinson called his first single ‘Bad Person’ an ‘irresistible earworm’), consistent airplay on all 3 releases from BBC Introducing and also regular airplay from Amazing Radio in the UK and US.
