"All parties we ever had ended in dancing" - Errol plays Guy the soundtrack to his mother's American immigrant experience

Guy Garvey revisits one of his favourite shows - his trip to New York in 2013, during which Dan Hesman enquired if he was indeed speaking to the Elbow frontman and which set in motion a chain of revealing interviews about life in America.

Errol - a relative of Dan's - speaks to Guy about growing up with a Turkish mother who moved to America at the age of 17. His mother wanted to feel connected to Turkey and music was one way of keeping the connection alive. Errol plays Guy one of his favourite songs from his childhood and recommends the next person to interview - Beirut lead singer Zach Condon.
