Damon Albarn to play in Honeyfest event 2012

A nice article from NME on Damon Albarn's gigs in 2012: 

Blur's Damon Albarn will headline this year's Honeyfest, playing a set which will consist of songs from his opera Doctor Dee. 

The opera originally ran in Manchester earlier this summer as part of the Manchester International Festival and received considerable praise from critics. Its plot details the life of 16th century scientist John Dee.

The show featured Albarn singing 10 songs from a position a third level above the stage and he will perform the songs, along with some of the musicians who performed in the show, at Honeyfest which takes place on April 14 in Tumuli Field in Marlborough, Wiltshire.

Also confirmed to appear at the event are BBC Sound Of 2012 nominees Dry The River, Rae Morris, Nick Harper, Cut A Shine and Kidnap Alice

Doctor Dee is also set to be performed at London's Coliseum during this summer. The opera will open at the UK capital venue on June 25 and will then be performed on June 26, 28, 29, July 4, 6 and 7. All the performances begin at 7.30pm, with a matinee performance also booked for July 7 at 2.30pm.

Producer William Orbit keeps hinting at new Blur material

William Orbit, producer of albums by Madonna and Blur, amongst many other musicians, keeps dropping hints on his facebook page about an upcoming Blur album.

He wrote on January 31st 2012:

Why does he keep mentioning Blur ? If nothing major was up, why keep posting and tweeting about it ? If it's a one off track like Fool's Day, Blur's comeback little song, then there's NO NEED to hire any producer, albeit an expensive, famous one.

Another fact: 2012 marks the 13th year since Blur recorded their album "13" (produced by William Orbit) in 1999. Coincidence ? We think not! It could be that Blur decided to surprise us by making another album, with the same producer as their 1999 album, hiring the same producer, for their comeback album.

It is quite likely that by hiring Orbit, such a renowned producer to work with them, Blur IS actually going to release something new. Blur was never a band who told us fans much before anything was going to happen, even for previous album titles, including their last album in 2003 titled "Think Tank".

Stay tuned on Blurballs and we'll keep you updated on anything happening. We can't wait!
