Damon in dazzling form
With his Blur mate Alex James content to make cheese, helm a Classic FM radio show and shill his autobiography to whoever will listen, Damon Albarn’s musical CV continues to bloom.
Recent strings to his bow include the “Monkey: Journey To The West” Chinese opera and the fascinating Africa Express project.
At Italia Wave, Albarn was leading The Good, The Bad & The Queen. This London song cycle collaboration with Paul Simonon, Tony Allen and Simon Tong makes for a hugely atmospheric and dramatic musical delight. Expect them to be one of this year’s highlights at the Electric Picnic.
Superb space for all the family and not an ugly people carrier in sight
