1. 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 looking forward to seeing Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and Grace Jones. Looking forward to Nick Cave is a daily activity for me. I saw them at the Troxy in East London on their last tour and the whole building shook. Grace Jones will bound to be wearing something I want to steal. I also want to catch The Mummers and Sonver.

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

The fact that I'm playing on a stage in a woods intrigues me. Will we be powered by woodpeckers..?

3. What can people expect you to bring to the festival and do you have anything special planned?
 
I will be bringing the entire Bad Seeds back catalogue so I can hunt down Nick Cave backstage for an enforced signing and good time karaoke session... Then I shall kidnap him. Apart from that? Paisley black Wellingtons, Ebows, plenty of glitter and a virtual gospel choir of evil dwarves is what you expect from me and the band.

4. If you weren't doing this what would you be doing?

If I wasn't a musician, writing short stories and living in America working as an overdressed librarian. If I wasn't at Latitude?  I would be practicing my guitar and swearing at Logic.

5. What do you always bring to a festival?

This will be my first festival show so I shall be bringing virginity.

6. Do you have any festival tips for those in attendance at Latitude?

1. Baby wipes and apples. There's a war out there.
2. Go and see nick cave. Go and see me.
3. Go geek and plan what you want to see and synch your iCal with your Blackberry. I always plan my festival viewing with military precision... but then it all goes to hell as soon as you smell the cider and you end up using the programme as a makeshift parasol/hat/seat.
