It’s little over a week til Latitude 2010 kicks off, so Getintothis caught up with a few of our favourite artists performing over the weekend. Here’s part one of two.
Faris Badwan, The Horrors: Word Arena
1. When you think of Latitude what five words spring to mind?
It’s the same, only darker
2. If you could only see one performance at this year’s festival what would it be?
I don’t think I could choose just one.
3. What 5 items will you be bringing to Latitude?
Me, myself, I, house keys, tear gas.
4. Do you have anything special planed for your performance at Latitude?
We will mainly be performing songs from our smash hit album, Primary Colours.
5. Latitude is five years old, how did you celebrate your fifth birthday?
My next door neighbour and I shared a birthday. She celebrated by hiring a bouncy castle. I celebrated by climbing the fence and unplugging it. Shortly afterwards I was chased down the road by someone’s sheepdog which was very embarrassing.
Liverpool-born, Norwich based poet Martin Figura: Poetry Arena
1. When you think of Latitude what 5 words spring to mind?
The hope for good weather!
2. If you could only see one performance at this year’s festival what would it be?
Laura Marling
3. What 5 items will you be bringing to Latitude?
Cocktail shaker, Sun block, thong, flip flops and an inflatable armchair.
4. Do you have anything special planed for your performance at Latitude?
One of my sets will be dark – rather than jolly.
5. Latitude is five years old, how did you celebrate your fifth birthday?
Resenting my new little sister!
