Big Chill 2007

Got back last weekend from the Big Chill 2007 in Eastnor, Herefordshire. Yeah it was a week ago, but it’s taken me a while to get back to full strength again! Well, you know, I’m not a teenager any more…

 Had a wicked time, went down in a convoy, so a big group of us camped together; our mighty VW Camper was fantastic as usual, and the company was great of course.

The festival was better than ever; amazing line-up, my highlights being the Cinematic Orchestra, Ty (blinding set from the UK rapper; Happily declaring and proving the death of rubbish Hip Hop!), Tom Middleton, Mad Professor, Marky and Stamina (only caught them briefly, but they were blowing the roof off the tent), Norman Jay (as always) and Red Snapper. My only criticism of the event was the curfew at 2pm; things pretty much shut down at 2; i suspect it’s a licensing thing, but there were a massive amount of people wandering about aimlessly at 3am on Saturday night; surely it wouldn’t break licensing laws to provide a cushion-covered tent to chill in? even a non-beer-serving-no-sound-system tent? That tiny thing aside, great event Mr Lawrence & Co; can’t wait till next year!
