Alex James is to host a new festival at his Oxfordshire farm.

PA reports that 'Alex James Presents Harvest' will showcase the best in British food and music.

The Blur bassist said: "We'll throw open the farm gates for Harvest this September. My family are looking forward to a celebration of all our favourite things - food, the farm and music. What more could we ask for?"

James has received acclaim for his homemade cheeses, including 'Little Wallop', a goats' cheese, and 'Blue Monday', named after his favourite New Order song. He began making cheese a couple of years after Blur originally separated in 2003.

Tickets are now on sale for the festival, which will take place between September 9 and 12.
