Yes indeed, really looking forward to the Big Chill!

I am playing a 3 hour set on Saturday night, in the 'Revellers Tent' from midnight-3am, a radio show on Sunday morning, plus  once again, the Make Us A Brew tea crew set up shop at the Big Chill, serving ‘Make Us A Brew’ tea, plus Union Coffee Roasters coffee, hot chocolate, as well as freshly baked scones, brownies & cakes.

This year, Action Aid are the charity of choice, and as well as a donation from every cup of tea served going to the charity, they will be on hand to spread the word about their work.
