Four Questions With Whitley
After the critically-acclaimed debut record The Submarine was released late in 2007, the songs of Lawrence Greenwood - better known as Whitley - began to work their way into the world through almost every medium. Whitley’s best work is yet to come in the form of Go Forth, Find Mammoth, an anticipated album that’s due out this spring 2009. Whitley answered four questions for One Movement Word.
Whitley, what’s your favourite song this week?
‘Ceremony’ by New Order. [audio embedded below]
What do you hope to gain from the One Movement Festival and Conference?
Just to enjoy the show and see my band onstage again. That and $800,000 cold, hard, cash and an exact replica of Marty McFly’s Delorian.
Which artists’ showcase sets are you most looking forward to watching?
One Movement’s tagline is “Artist, Industry, Fan United”. What do you think needs to change in order to unite the music industry with its artists and fans?
The most important bond is that between the artist and the observer. The music industry needs to honour that by merely being an organizational framework that presents the truth of a body of work.
Whitley and his band play the Snowball Stage at 3.20pm on Saturday, 17th October (full timetable here), as well as the Dew Process industry showcase at 9pm on Friday, 16th October 2009 (details here).
