Update - You gots to chill

On February 12th I had a bit of a rant about the Big Chill and Pete Lawrence parting ways with the festival, how the festival has evolved and Big Chill Bar and Big Chill House. Well it turns out people actually read this blog - belief it was news to me - and more specifically I've been asked to sit down with Katrina Larkin who founded the festival with Pete, way back when, and a PR to discuss what I had to say. Eek. I'm sure it will all be very polite, I hope so. If anyone has thoughts or opinions they would like to communicate to the Big Chill's top dawgs drop me a line.

While I'm here, here's the latest line up news for your perusal,and allows me to include some ace music by Sengal's Orchestra Baobab for this posting:
