It's blue of course, just in case the suspense was too much to bear.
But then again, as sheep's go we are talking about the spray painted variety.
Ahead of his show at latitude this July, Bill Bailey talks to SSP about who and what he hopes to catch at the festival.
Who are you most looking forward to seeing at this year's Latitude festival across the Arenas (Obelisk, Uncut, Comedy, Theatre, Literary and Poetry, Film & Music) and why?
Elbow, Sigur Ros, Interpol, Phil Jupitus doing Porky the Poet, Mark Lamarr doing God's Jukebox, Rich Hall.. John Hegley, Elbow, because they are wonderful, Sigur Ros cos I love the grandness, the huge sounds, the slow build.
Interpol cos they continue the spirit of guitar indie punk that I grew up on, Phil is doing poetry again, which is great, what he did before anything, his first love.
Mark is playing records - what he loves - and Rich Hall is doing Otis, but also just stand-up - we've toured together, and it's always good to hear what he has to say.
John Hegley is performing who was an early inspiration.
What aspect of Latitude Festival interests you the most and why?
I love the mix of stuff, the great bands, and the fact there is a Poetry Arena..
Good vibes all round..
What can people expect you to bring to the festival and do you have anything special planned?
I will bring my Bouzouki-Saz Hybrid and I will act on the impulse of the crowd.
If you weren't doing this what would you be doing?
Holding up shells to my ear.
What is your favourite colour Sheep?
Blue
