FELIZ NAVIDAD

12/24/08
Damon Albarn reveals how the rift with his bandmates was healed - and his plans to play secret gigs on his home turf of Essex
You can take the boy out of Essex but not, apparently, Essex out of the boy. Damon Albarn has drawn musical inspiration from travels in China, Africa and other far-flung reaches but, as he prepares for the keenly awaited comeback of Blur, he admits that what excites him most is the prospect of going home to the county of Mondeo Man and estuary English.

In an unusually candid interview, Albarn has spoken of a desire to return to his childhood roots in Colchester, Essex, and perform secret gigs with Blur, potentially under their original name, Seymour. And the key to his rapprochement with former bandmate Graham Coxon? A chat over an Eccles cake.

Earlier this month Blur announced plans to re-form for several concerts next summer, culminating at Hyde Park in July and a rumoured headline act at the Glastonbury Festival in June.

Their "Battle of Britpop" against Oasis in the mid-90s made front pages and was billed as a north-south clash between the working-class Gallagher brothers and Albarn's posh boys from Essex.

"Do you know what? The most exciting thing about all this for me is that I haven't been back to Colchester, or Essex, since 1994," he told broadcaster John Wilson in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on Radio 4's Front Row. "That's a long time. I'm going to get the chance to take my daughter to walk through the meadows I used to walk through as a kid, go to the river I used to fish in, swing on the swings I swung on as a kid. For me that's the most wonderful thing. And I think it's beautifully ironic that with my kind of wanderlust and desire to travel and experience the, some would say, the exotic east, the south, wherever, the thing that excites me next year is going back to Essex. Can you believe it?"


MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!
