Blur bassist Alex James has refused to talk about rumours that the band are recording new material.
Last month, Blur's drummer Dave Rowntree told Gigwise the band would “definitely” do something together again in 2011.
The band were planning to reunite and gather in the studio together again at the end of January and into February.
But when asked about the speculation, James told
"Nothing to report from Blur, we're mates and we always will be. We'll always get together now and again."
James added that he was currently concentrating on his forthcoming musical festival, Harvest, which will take place at his home in Oxfordshire in September.
"Would Blur play? You should ask them. One day. Who knows? Could be good," he said.
Just a little update on what's going on in the Blur world... Alex's keeping it positive and Dave and Graham have tweeted and facebook'd about this. All up to Damon now!

"...But when asked about the speculation, James told BBC Newsbeat: 'Musician makes record, that's not news, but musician makes cheese and puts on festival that's news.' "
ReplyDeleteBehold, the media veteran. He knows the interview game and which "plays" lead to "checkmate".
It's truly extraordinary how quickly "The Rumor Mill" works these days. Graham Coxon dares to forget that he is, well...Graham Coxon, and the mill spins into overdrive.
