The Big Chill - In Words And Photos

A few of us went to The Big Chill festival the other month. We had Tom Brosseau playing there on the main stage, so we drove him and his manager Mary up. Here's my review of the festival:

The Big Chill. It's slightly embarrassing to tell people you're going to The Big Chill. Just because of that name - The Big Chill. I'd better not get to chilled - I don’t want to down a camomile and fall into a chill-hole. Or, maybe I'd trip over a spliff and break my karma.

But the festival itself is actually pretty good. It's a nice size, so walking from one end to the other, or from stage to stage, isn't a pain. The food stalls are of course well over priced, but we found some decent stuff; pies, those big yorkshire puddings with mash and sausages in, proper pizza. The bars weren't over-crowded and the toilets were pretty clean. Fine.

Musically there were some things that were definitely worth seeing. Here's a list of the bands/artists we rated:

David Byrne
Chris Cunningham
Amadou & Mariam
Wildbirds & PEACEDRUMS
Shackleton
The Ex
Tom Brosseau

The festival review is brief, I'll admit.

Above are some photos of us all. I'm (Tom Fatcat) the one with the shaved hair and Alex Fatcat is the one who looks a bit like Hitler (sans tash but w/ tattoos). Tom Brosseau is the attractive guy. Dionne is the attractive girl. Our friend Nic at http://sexsilencemelodyviolence.blogspot.com/ took the B&W photos (I took the colour ones), he's the one holding a camera. Dave H Fatcat is the one with a cute child. Norm has a beard/glasses and his two friends (I forgot their names on day one and I left it too late to ask again) are sitting at the table in the lovely group pic.

Domino Vs FatCat Match Report

So they got lucky with Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys, but it was some sort of fucked up miracle which prevented them getting a smashing at the 1st (away) leg of the Domino Vs FatCat football fixture.

FatCat dominated in the first half, which saw Alex Knight blast a 60 yarder past the terrible Domino keeper. FatCat's goalie Tom 'Everywhere' Allen broke his arm just before kick off but kept weak shots from drawing the game level until the wind took a turn against us and literally blew the ball past the line when we were busy helping a herd of ill kittens cross the road. Typical!

Half time was tough. The Domino players managed to open their oranges just in time to scoff them and run back on, whilst the FatCat team did 10 minutes each on the Samaritans line.

The whistle blew again and FatCat's dominance seemed to slip slightly. Domino scored (with a handball but we let them have it) to take the lead! Not at all shaken by the sudden turn around, Dave Thomas took the ball past everyone and levelled the game two a piece. Things looked bad for FatCat towards the end as 'Everywhere' Allen somehow snapped all of his fingers and smashed some ribs, but like a true champ he stood tall and flicked away some more petty attempts from the London label.

FULL TIME! 2-2. Next leg is in Brighton. News of a location and date will be on here soon.
