So, the BIG CHILL 2010.
Thom Yorke was quite poor, i knew what to expect with his suicide mode,but was
shocked at just how painful his music is.He was having a lot of trouble with his guitars
which made it ten times worse.
Martina Topley Bird, who had apparently featured with Massive Attack, has an astoundingly
attractive voice.
Newton Faulkner,just him and his geetar,was captivating,finishing off with a crowd involving
bohemian rhapsody, great.
Plan B. I thought before that they were ok, but seeing him live doing an opening 15 minute
human beatbox was a pleasing sight.And the following music was brilliant.
And if Lilly Allen was the boil on the arse of this festival, then Paloma Faith was the lipstick on
an already gorgeous face. An enticing stage display,cheeky,good sound,playing with the audience,
she should of been headlining.
Masses of other good stuff, the Starburst outside stage,with light up globes,and then later
at night the magical Shh Party.
Dj Derek playing some reggae and dancehall classics,aged over 70!! Smooth and Turell,Massive Attack,
Mixmaster Morris chilling us till 3am on Sunday, the decor and later hip house in the Paradiso arena,
much much more ,and only a couple of dampeners,which is to be expected at a festival which
allowed under 17[s in cheap,but that's Festival Republics idea.
All in all, a festival worth attending.
