Blur, Laura Marling and The Vaccines will all be performing when the next series of Later…With Jools Holland gets underway a week today (April 14th).
They’re due to appear on the first episode along with Natalie Prass, Songhoy Blues and Davina And The Vagabonds, while Soft Cell singer Marc Almond has been invited on the show for an interview.
Blur are set to make their first appearance on the long-running BBC series in fifteen years as they prepare to release new album ‘The Magic Whip‘.
“I view it as a great big positive punctuation mark,” Graham Coxon has told Uncut of the record. “I don’t know whether it’s the full stop at the end of a book or whether it’s a full stop at the end of a chapter. I don’t think any of us know that yet.”
“That doesn’t mean any of us are going to stop making music. Music is a constant with us. Damon will make music whether it’s with Blur or doing other things, he’ll always be meandering along making music.”
