Who are you most looking forward to seeing at the Latitude festival and why?
I don’t go to festivals to see anyone in particular. For myself, what makes a festival great is not who you saw but who you missed, as it is evidence that there was so much going on you could not hope to take it all in.
What aspect of Latitude Festival interests you the most and why?
The name of the festival is its most essential aspect, for its title sums up everything about living here in these islands. We are lucky to be in a geographical location where food is guaranteed through our highly temperate climate, and where there is some kind of balance between the sexes.
What can people expect you to bring to the festival, do you have anything special planned?
People can expect a beautiful array of instruments, including 2 Mellotrons and several marching drums plus the strangest percussion rack this side of a Harry Partch composition. There will be epic amplifiers and extremely pretty guitars, plus anecdotes and strange tales. Also, I shall be playing both old and new material at the festival.
If you weren’t doing this what would you be doing?
I’d be researching for my next book, which is a study of the Ancient Law.
What is your favourite colour Sheep?
I’m interested only in the black sheep.
