ON TRACK: JERSEY BUDD SET FOR NEW MK FESTIVAL INTO THE WILD

A new festival launches in Milton Keynes next week - Into the Wild has a sterling line-up, a picturesque setting and an easy-on-the-finances ticket price... The line-up for the three day event - running 11-13 July at The Hounslow Hall Estate -  includes The Basics, Beans on Toast, K and Jersey Budd. Leicester's Jersey Budd is regularly compared to Dylan and Springsteen, but with a decidedly modern edge, and his favourable, honest music has been heard far and wide - Jersey has supported artists including his friends and contemporaries Kasabian, James Morrison and the late, great John Martyn. ITWbanner. July 11png Jersey answered our On Track questions... The song that first awakened your musical senses Like a Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan Physical or digital - how do you take your music? I can see the benefits in both, but you can't beat the sound on vinyl The first time you thought - 'music - this is the job for me' After my first ever gig in a little pub in Leicester, when I was 16 Your best on-stage memory Being on-stage at Glastonbury in front of thousands of people, with all the flags flying around, and the crowd were amazing  And the worst gig you've ever done On top of a bus in York What made you take up the guitar My friend at college taught me some chords to Oasis and The Beatles and I was hooked straight away Which one song by an other artist do you wish you'd written There are loads, but I'll say In My Life by The Beatles And one - by yourself - which holds special significance Alone in Piccadilly - it was my Nan's favourite before she passed away If you could step into the shoes of another musician, living or dead, who would it be and what would you do John Lennon, and I'd call up Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon etc and have a drink Are there any current musical influences that you might look to Loads, Black Keys, Temples, Family Rain And any genre of music you simply can't stand Swing What are you going to be bringing to the Into the Wild line-up? I'm bringing my band with me and people can expect a loud, uptempo magical show ...and to be prepared for any festival eventuality, what are the three essential items you pack?
