David
Holmes & The Free Association
|

|
In
five short years, David Holmes has bounced from the Belfast techno
scene to Hollywood, going stratospheric with the groovesome Ocean’s
Eleven soundtrack. Now he jets between the left and right hands sides
of the Atlantic, a true international DJ artiste with his own, very
fine band Free Association. David wowed the ground floor with a ear-bleeding
funky rendition of “I wish I had a (wooden heart)”, one
of many of his recent LP.

We dragged Monsieur Holmes out into the freezing backyard
of the Roost and gave him an ice-old interviewing
Tell us an amazing fact In MacDonald's, in Northern Ireland,
the beef they use in their hamburgers is the grade A top quality best
meat that you can get. My dad told me because he sells to them. Mine's
a…? Bushmill's and coke What's the first record you
ever bought? "She's So Modern" by Boomtown Rats. I didn't
know what it was called so they gave me 'On My Radio' by Selecter
instead. Which wasn't such a bad thing to get mixed up with. Probably
a better record. The first record I owned was The Pistol's "Pretty
Vacant" - they were just hand me downs. "Gary Gilmour's Eyes" by The
Adverts. "All around the World" by the Jam. When you want
to chill, you put on… James Carr, Roy Montegomery, Karen
Dalton, John Coltraine - loads of Southern Soul How did the
Free As come about? Well we made the record in about a month.
It wasn't until we'd finished the album that we thought it'd be a
good thing to do live. The whole thing's been "crash bang wallop".
We're still developing. Everyday it's been getting tighter and tighter.
Do you like camping? Only when it involves a circle
of female friends. And LSD.Define funky? How long
have you got? Not long enough
