BIG CHILL HOUSE :: WAITANGI DAY :: 06/02/07
This year’s Waitangi Day event will be at The Big Chill House, the Big Chill Festival’s latest venue. This is because the lovely people who manage it have offered to pay the costs themselves, so that there will be no entry charge, which strikes us as a good thing!
A lush 3 floored venue, The Big Chill House is just by Kings Cross station and has an excellent restaurant that will be serving Kiwi flavoured snacks on the night, 2 mezzanine lounge areas looking over the main space, a sunken Swedish style basement with fake fire, and an upstairs cocktail lounge which we will only use if things get very hectic downstairs. If you would like to book a table or an area these are the numbers: to book a table call 020 7427 2541; to reserve an area call 020 7427 2540.
We will be starting at 5pm, with DJ Ajax spinning Kiwi classics and more, until Ngati Ranana, the London Maori Club, perform at 8pm, to be swiftly followed by our favourite London based singer songwriter, Jayson Norris. To finish the night off in style, Nick Lloyd and guests will play until midnight, when we should all probably troupe off home!
From: 5pm til 12am.
On: 257-259 Pentonville Road, London N1 9NL
Nearest tubes: Kings Cross

BIG CHILL BAR :: JASON LONSDALE :: 07/02/07
For many years, Jason hosted the Sleazy Listening show on Auckland’s bFM, specializing in, as the name suggests, music that was easy but sleazy! Now based these sides, his musical style hasn’t changed that much, thankfully, with the focus on fun and funky. He has posted a rather excellent mix to download from his blog: http://tinyurl.com/38lrf6
From: 7pm til 12am
On: Dray Walk, just off Brick Lane, London E1 6QL
Nearest tubes: Liverpool Street or Aldgate East

NEW TITLES INSTORE
Thanks to all of you who have persisted with NetSoundsMusic’s clunky ordering system – we hope you are happy with your new music!
The only new title this month at www.netsoundsmusic.com/spacific and at Flat White on Berwick Street is the excellent Fat Freddy’s Drop DVD, “Fantastic Voyages Volume 1”, which should be on sale mid month if the air freight gods are smiling on us! There will be many more titles up on sale by the middle of March, but in the meantime please browse away.
