The Blur musician and wife Claire welcome thousands of people to their Cotswolds farm every summer for The Big Feastival
"My CV reads: 'A lot of tunes, a lot of cheese, a lot of children, lives on a farm, loves a party,'" the Blur bassist told"It's no small undertaking, running a festival, but it sits completely within my preoccupations.
"Bands don't really work," he continues. "They're unwieldy, and why deal with four divas when you can just deal with one? But there's nothing to touch that visceral thrill of a tight bunch of people who have been playing music together for years and years. The family joined the band whenever they could. "I have five teenage children who thought I was an idiot," he says with a laugh. "And just for a minute I was a cool dad again. But it's worn off now.", a documentary released later this month. Alex, who describes it as "a wonderful story of friendship and the best shows we've ever done," also spent the first few months of this year writing about the experience for a new book.
