The Big Chill Winter Concert with AMBA
December 7th 2001, Union Chapel, London.

The biggest gig that I'd done to date and the start of a busy, exciting weekend... Supporting Tom Middleton's Amba project and collaborating with Hexstatic was pretty much a dream come true I suppose, so I planned to do an ambient set - and one that I wrote especially for the occasion.

I'd been to this the year before as an observer, and the venue had been half full, but this year, it was packed to the brim - both storeys were filled to capacity, so needless to say, I was quite nervous before getting up on stage in front of everyone.

I needn't have worried - the audience were pretty noisy and as a result I just got on with it - and ended up thoroughly enjoying the whole gig. Feedback from people was pretty encouraging too.

A recorded record of the gig exists in my collection at home... it sounds VERY chilled.
