Speaking to The Guardian of his Bestival performance, he said, "I haven't played any of the major festivals in the UK in recent years, so when the opportunity to play Bestival came up I was very interested.
"Bestival seems to be more of a people's festival, not too big, and very friendly - I like the idea of that."
