The King Blues interview - Reading Festival 2011

'It was like something out of a horror film'

Chris Swindells - 30 August 2011

Watch our video interview with The King Blues backstage at Reading Festival 2011.

Jonny 'Itch' Fox and Jamie Jazz from The King Blues join Virtual Festivals backstage at Reading Festival 2011 before their set, to chat Reading, riots and raw memories.

When speaking about riots, 'Itch' tells us: “What I’m seeing is the David Camerons and the Nick Griffins of this world who have never been to Tottenham or Hackney Estate, they don’t know what happens there or what stuggles these people are going through.“

Jamie told his personal Reading horror story, about a punter experience that got turned upside down in a flash; “It was like something out of a horror film. I close my eyes and see that image”

And they both explain why playing at Reading and Leeds Festivals means a lot to the band.
