Harvest Festival
James announced he would open up his Oxfordshire farm to host a new food and music festival. The event, entitled ‘Alex James presents Harvest’, took place from 9–12 September 2011, in conjunction with organisers Big Wheel Promotions. Combining the best of the British food scene alongside a live music soundtrack, the first collaborators to confirm included KT Tunstall, The Feeling, Richard Corrigan, Mark Hix, Rachel Allen, Jay Rayner, Monty Don and Sarah Don and Stevie Parle (Initially, confused press reports misidentified Mr. Parle as Steve Earle).
