Inspired By Libraries

May 19, 2025

Guy Garvey joins Shaun Keaveny for Inspired By Libraries, a one-off live event at Manchester Central Library on Thursday 5 June, from 8.00pm to 9.00pm.

Presented by Manchester City of Literature, the evening will explore themes of music, memory, creativity, community and the role libraries play in our cultural lives — all in the warm, thoughtful style you’d expect from two of Manchester’s most distinctive voices.

They’ll also be discussing elbow’s brand new EP, Audio Vertigo Echo elbow EP5, which is released the following day on 6 June.

The event is free to attend with a donation option. Book tickets here.
