Radio DJ, presenter and all-round music connoisseur Mark Lamarr will be presenting his legendary God’s Jukebox. “My dream list of Gods Jukeboxes favourite live bands is a joy to compile each year when the Latitude folks come a calling and it's with the usual light heart that I can announce that this year’s line up is as strong, and definitely more diverse, than ever before. Obviously my dream list is slightly tempered by the fact that Sam Cooke and Howlin’ Wolf are still dead, Aretha don't fly and Tom Waits doesn't do tents. 

Those four notwithstanding, the delights of Holland’s alternative bluesmasters T-99 (the greatest gig I saw last year) are on offer alongside Denmark’s soon to be enormous Asteroids Galaxy Tour (their ‘Sun Ain't Shining No More' single gave indie a good name last year). 

For the traditionalists we have the original line up of The Flirtations whose 1969 album ‘Sound Like The Flirtations’ is perhaps the highlight of British Soul, even if they are American. Back when I did the Reggae Show on Radio 2, I'd often give over an entire hour show to a specifically worthy artist, and THREE of those artists appear in the line up of the wonderful Prince Fatty Revue (Winston Francis, Dennis Alcapone and Little Roy if you're interested. 

And you should be.) Finally a late night knees-up courtesy of not only Chas but also Dave (and Mick). Due to a Bill Bailey joke a lot of people assume Dave is dead. Not true, he just doesn't move much.”
