We caught up with the infamous Howard Marks (also known as Mr. Nice) - check out his website here - at Musik's 5th Birthday @ The End, just 3 days before Homelands England.
Howard Marks with The End's Mr C.
Are you going to any festivals?
I might be going
to Homelands on Saturday night if Sean Ryder's going, 'cause we're supposed
to be performing together.
What will you be doing?
I just talk shite.
Do you think festivals now draw much from those in the 60's?
Yeah I think they
have, and it's been very interesting for me as I've been to every fucking
festival in this country... but I don't like seeing the bands at the
festivals, I prefer to see them in concert venues, but I like all this
sort of side stuff, stalls and that...
What else do you do at festivals?
Get stoned! [laughs]
What's your weirdest experience at a festival?
Taking 2CB and ecstasy
with my daughter when we went to Glastonbury... I was trying to put my
jacket on my legs...
Do you camp?
I'll just crash
out near what seems to be a tent, but I don't worry much about where
I sleep.
What's your favourite ever festival?
Best one I've ever
been to was the Isle of Wight, a very early one, they were the fun ones.
The concerts in the bullrings in Spain are good too.
What's changed?
Everything! Drugs,
people, sex and music. But it changes for the better.
