    Alex James wants to record another World Cup song with Fat Les.

    The Blur bassist wrote the music and comedian Keith Allen wrote the lyrics to the legendary hit 'Vindaloo' for the 1998 football tournament in France, and the musician-turned-cheesemaker has admitted he would love to perform a follow up for the 2018 tournament in Russia.


    When asked if Fat Les - who were completed by artist Damien Hirst - would ever record another World Cup song, Alex exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm up for it. My kids love Fat Les."

    Should Alex – who has five kids, sons Geronimo and twins Artemis and Galileo, and two daughters Sable and Beatrix, with wife Claire Neate - get round to recording another Fat Les tune then his children may well get the chance to appear on the song as he admits some of his brood look set to follow in his footsteps.

    He added: "All kids are musical. I seem to have two trumpet players and a chef in the ranks."

    While Alex is known for his part as the bassist in Blur, he has since turned his hand to cheesemaking and insists there is nothing unusual about a musician taking up such a hobby.

    He added: "Monks sing in the morning and make cheese in the afternoon and nobody thinks that's weird."

    To mark the launch of O2’s £20m investment to help British businesses go digital, O2 has shown one of the country’s best known small businesses, Alex's cheese business, ways to help take the hassle out of technology.
