Blur to Head Back Into the Studio Again?

The previously hinted at Blur re-reunion seems to be starting to gather pace.

According to Graham Coxon's Twitter, the band met up on Thursday (3 February), with, apparently, the possibility of music being recorded.

Coxon wrote (and later deleted) (via NME), "Now off to see the Blur boys and have coffee and maybe switch a tape recorder on!"

He added more detail in response to other tweets, "We are having a meet-up, might get a guitar out."

In November, frontman Damon Albarn mentioned the possibility of Blur restarting their reunion, after previously declaring it over.

He said (via NME), "We did talk about doing something in January. Something small, no career-based world domination ideas."

It may be a few days late, but given that Albarn has now apparently put Gorillaz to bed, he must have plenty of time on his hands.

The band reunited in 2009 and played a series of live shows, notably headlining Glastonbury, as well as releasing one new song 'Fool's Day'.

Regardless of how these new sessions may go, bassist and cheesemaker Alex James will be keeping himself busy in the summer, hosting a festival on his Oxfordshire estate called Harvest.

James told the Independent, "We'll throw open the farm gates for Harvest this September. My family are looking forward to a celebration of all our favourite things -- food, the farm and music. What more could we ask for?"

Entertainments lined up for the event near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire include cookery masterclasses, gardening workshops, a children's field and a range of bands.

KT Tunstall is the first act confirmed for the event, which will be held between 9 to 12 September.
