WHAT would David Cameron look like today if he had been inspired by gothic music instead of politics?

That very pressing question has been answered by the organisers of the Witney Music Festival, with a series of new promotional posters by Wantage artist Ian Cater.

And the six illustrations – of Mr Cameron as a choir boy, hippy, rapper, cowboy, punk and goth – have received the Prime Minister’s backing.

Mr Cameron, above, MP for Witney, said: “My children found them particularly amusing – and I hope I can get my own set soon. The cowboy one really made me laugh.”

The PM will sign the originals so they can be auctioned off to raise money for Headington-based Sobell House Hospice.

He added: “I was delighted to sign the six cartoons to be auctioned for the hospice and it is a pleasure to give my support to the Witney Music Festival.”

Festival organiser Derek West said: “I must admit I was nervous at first because I hadn’t seen the illustrations and I thought this could be a bit disrespectful.

“But when I saw them I was really encouraged. I thought they looked really good and do the job of striking a chord with people.”

The festival will take place between April 24 and May 2, and will feature 150 artists at 40 events across the town’s pubs, clubs and churches.

The majority of the festival’s events are free.
