The Strongbow Rooms @ Big Chill
25 July 2005
The Big Chill is one of the most distinct festivals in the UK, priding itself
on a very select music policy that literally bulldozes new ground, churning dance, dub, raggae, funk, and blues
into something you can swing your hips to, as easily as lie flat on your face to. Full of new, wierd and
wonderful acts you won't have ever heard of before, it's a weekend about discovery, about DJs and live acts
who dare to do daft things, about you trying to be even dafter, and about wandering around meeting new people
and hearing alternative sounds, safe in the knowledge you'll somehow just bump into your mates when you want to. Such
a festival philosophy can be found nowhere better than The Strongbow Rooms, a venue that's made a huge
cultural contribution to the festival over the last few years with some of the finest and most inventive DJs on the circuit.
This
year is no exception. From the wildboy breaks of Soul Of Man to the old-skool reggae of DJ Derek,
from the stellar electro of Cosmos to the deep dub of Different Drummer, and from the twisted
funk of Bent to the downtempo draw of Max Sedgley, The Strongbow Rooms will once again be
beating a drum of its own in the Big Chill big band, manufacturing missiles of music and whacking them down
your pants! David McAlmont is even going to be there (doing what we're not entirely sure), and
if you want just one tip from VF, go check out A Man Called Adam on Sunday morning presenting classical music
in a very special way.
See below for the full lineup, see you in The Strongbow Rooms for the
biggest and best party of the weekend ... and some very silly named acts!
