The Big Chill's 10th Anniversary
29th February 2004 .

Can it really be ten years ago since the Big Chill's inaugral parties at the Union Chapel? Well, it is. To celebrate this decade of chilldom, Pete and Katrina and all at Big Chill Central organised this anniversary party at their original home.

What a lovely party. Loads of familiar faces, and a lineup that has reflected the Chill over the past ten years. The acts included Sounds from the Ground, Global Communication, Mixmaster Morris, Hexstatic, Coldcut, Paul Gathercole, Pete Lawrence/Alan James, Ulrich Schnauss and Alucidnation.

Spread over two rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs, the whole thing exuded warmth and congeniality.

My set was pretty special in the respect that during my accompanying slideshow, I incorporated six slides of my friend Kate Allen asking her partner Kieran for his hand in marriage. Of course, he accepted!

This event sold out in 30 minutes!
