Sunday 14th July 2013: Return to the Big Chill Bar

 

As luck would have it I've asked to play at one of my favourite venues in London this Sunday, The Big Chill Bar. I've been an irregular feature down there, somewhat like an occasional table, ever since it opened back in 2005. I played the first week it was opened, I've been lucky to play at their very special New years eve and New Years day parties, as part of their celebrations for the Big Chill festival and have been involved in a number of residencies there over the years. This time they've asked me to bring in the chill and downtempo, in a very welcome move to return the bar back to it's humble laid back musical roots. Something I'm more than happy to do. See you down there!

Event: Djing at Big Chill Bar

It's great to be asked to play some records at the Big Chill Bar. Yes, it's an early start for most, including me, but still: me, you, some decks, booze and food : what a way to have your sunday lunch! I'l be playing some lovely down tempo and folktronic tunes to help you digest your roast and down a few beers.  I'll try to remember to record it for those not up or out of town.
