Weekend Picks for Tindersticks - David Boulter speaks out

Less than three weeks to go - still no idea of how to put up tent - still no sign of tickets. If you are in a similar boat (hoping that we won’t need one of those too), sooth yourself with these calmly spoken words from stick-and-key man David Boulter concerning all things latitude:

Who are you most looking forward to seeing at this year’s Latitude festival across the Arenas (Obelisk, Uncut, Comedy, Theatre, Literary and Poetry, Film & Music) and why?

I’m only there Sunday, so I’ll miss Julian Cope. Barry Adamson and Jonny Trunk in the Film and Music Arena sound good to me. Hope I’m there then.

What aspect of Latitude Festival interests you the most and why?

Latitude seems to offer something else, and diverse acts get space. It seems to make sense.

What can people expect you to bring to the festival and do you have anything special planned?

We’re playing as a 12 piece band at the moment and it’s been great fun, so some of that.

If you weren’t doing this what would you be doing?

Sat in one of the many beer gardens of Praha, where I live. Probably in a 3 piece suit, so pretty much the same as at Latitude.

What is your favourite colour Sheep?

I once saw a huge orange sheep. Like a really rusty orange. That was pretty funky. It may of been the mushrooms from the meadow next door though. Or maybe it was a cow?
