Xfm Meets Laura Marling At South By Southwest

Ever wondered what Laura does to chill out? Did you suspect she harbours desires to form a punk band? It’s all here in her SXSW interview.
Think you’ve got Laura Marling pegged? Think again. We met up with the queen of nu-British folk after she’d wowed a packed house at Austin. What followed was incredible. It turns out she unwinds by looking at bats, wants to form a punk band and has gone all medieval on album number two.
Listen to the full interview right here...
What have you been up to? Playing shows?
We played a very strange private show at a place called Smoking Music…
How’s the reaction been to the show you played so far?
It was good. It was a funny old night…
How does Laura Marling cut loose?
The wildlife here is pretty amazing…
What's next? Are you in the middle of a US tour?
I literally just came out here to play this festival...
And plans for the summer? Will we see you at any festivals?
Yeah, I do Camp Bestival and Blissfields. I’m going easy on festivals…
