BIG CHILL BAR :: MISS DIGGA :: 07/11/07

Having moved to London from New Zealand in 1997, Miss Digga immediately found herself at the centre of the city’s dance scene. Over the years she has played at almost every club in town, as well at the TDK dance festival and the Notting Hill Carnival. As a natural progression of her talents, she has also launched her own production career, and her remixes for skewed Berlin electro outfit Warren Suicide have caught the attention of Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, and Annie Mac to name a few. More info, and some rather tasty free mixes to download, at www.myspace.com/missdigga.

From: 7pm til 12am
On: Dray Walk, just off Brick Lane, London E1 6QL
Nearest tubes: Liverpool Street or Aldgate East

COMPETITION:: PIONEERS @ THE PACIFIC PLAYHOUSE

This month we have 2 pairs of tickets to see a brand new play, PIONEERS at the PACIFIC PLAYHOUSE, anytime during its run from 22 to 27 October.

PIONEERS is the remarkable true story of the people who chose to leave Victorian England and Ireland to settle in the wilderness that would have been New Zealand 150 years ago, told through a mesmerising musical performance. On the way they encounter hardship and uncertainty, freedom and love, but, most importantly, the prospect of a new beginning full of possibility. The show also incorporates a visually stunning backdrop of New Zealand scenery mixed in with digitally reproduced archival images of Magic Lantern slides from the UK’s Centre for New Zealand Studies Archive.

To win the tickets, please email kiaora@spacific.net and we will draw 2 names out of the metaphorical hat on October 15th. For more info on the venue, please check www.pacificplayhouse.com or for ticketing, please check www.dafmusic.com.

This comes to you courtesy of 42 Below, whose Pure vodka is available from Oddbins. For more info on 42, visit http://www.42below.co.nz.

Unfortunately this is the last “Cocktail of the Month” – we have used all the recipes we were once given, and since Bacardi bought 42 Below last year they have stopped communicating with us, so we have no more to recommend.
