In-depth interview: Gideon Conn

To pigeonhole Manchester-based Gideon Conn as a white rapper does him a great disservice. Then again! He is white. He can rap. When I listen to his music, I get that same feeling of sitting in a small slice of afternoon sun on a cold day. Mmmm fuzzy warmy. Gideon's debut album will be released in 2009. I can't wait.

[Hi Gideon...]

Who’s your biggest fan?
At the moment it's Anna from North London - I have to share her with James Blunt and Jason Mraz though.

What’s your plan for world domination?
Waiting til I'm dead.

Where can I get one of those?
www.yesnomaybe.co.uk

When was the last time you cried?
Last week, watching old footage of Roy Orbison.

Why should anyone come to one of your gigs?
To have their ears opened to a new world of music and entertainment and brighten up their day.

How much would you pay for that?
Priceless.

If you live in Manchester, Gideon will be playing at the Friends of Manchester Festival taking place at Jabez Clegg and Kro Bar on January 24. Cheap tickets are available here for a limited time.
