Blur bassist Alex James will be showing off his farming skills as a member of the selection committee for London's 2008 Real Food Festival.

The Beetlebum rocker has become a cheese-maker at his Cotswolds farm in the English countryside since the Damon Albarn-fronted band last released an album, Think Tank, in 2003.

And now he has been asked to pick the exhibits for the food festival, which will take place at London's Earl's Court between April 24 and 27.
