Quirky songwriter Lightspeed Champion is the latest addition to this summer's Latitude festival.

Real name Dev Hynes, the songwriter began life in the furious dance-punk trio Test Icicles. After announcing that no one in the group actually liked their own music the band split, with Hynes turning towards his trusty acoustic guitar.

Taking the name Lightspeed Champion, the singer began playing acoustic nights around London. Gathering a cult fan base, Lightspeed Champion worked with a number of other up and coming talents including Florence Welch.

Snapped up by Domino Records, Lightspeed Champion released his debut album 'Falling Off The Lavender Bridge'...
