Oops, I did it again..

Well, I'm a bit late this time but I think I have a reasonable enough excuse. For the last couple of months, I've been helping out some old friends at Planet Angel by coordinating the music for the *Chilled* In A Field festival that was held last weekend in a field in Sussex. It's been great to get back on the horse as it were and despite some typical British summer weather - rain, wind, thunder - we pulled it off with a great lineup of DJs and live acts. As a result of that, I've managed to get hold of a load of new music from people I previously hadn't had the pleasure of listening to, so expect to hear some of that in the near future.

Look out for the festival next year, it really is a nice, family friendly couple of days in a field with great food, excellent choice of ales & ciders, several music, performance and workshop areas and an incredibly happy vibe.

In a previous missive, I bemoaned the fact that because of some strange twist of fate - read inter EU beauacracy - I couldn't get hold of the Scarlet Chives album, but Brian from the band got in touch and as a result, I am now the happy owner of a copy. You can download yours from the Sureleaf Records website. Go on, take a punt. If you like the music on the podcasts - The Horror featured earlier in the year - I guarantee this is one of the best albums of the year so far and could well be one of those hidden treasures that you see in end of year lists. Cheers Brian, you are a true gent and I wish the band and the label much success in the future. If only other labels had the same positive attitude to customer service and satisfaction, the music world would be in a much friendlier state.
