Fatboy Slim - New Year

Oh yes, I was fortunate enough, and pretty smug about getting tickets to Fatboy Slim's Big Beach Boutique 3 on New Year's Day. I was living over in Thailand for the last 2, and seeing how it was held about 500 metres from my flat it had to be done. Start the new year with something different eh?

It was very well organised, they'd managed to sucessfully cordon off Marine Parade, so from the Palace Pier all the way down towards the marina. The gig rocked, no doubt...amazing!!! The Slim one certainly knows how to work a crowd, he does the work them up, and up and up, hold it and then take them higher still thing better than any other dj (in my humble opinion). He played a great set, and it was only a few days later in the local paper that I had any idea he'd suffered 15 electric shocks in doing so!!! Hardcore Brighton boy!!! Oh yep, new year's day was fowl...it started hammering it down with (at points horizontal) rain about 4ish and just kept going, but once you're wet, you're wet, and 20 000 uber-happy, columbian-esque peeps danced on regardless.

Have a lookie at this if you so fancy..."Put your hands up for Brighton- we love this city!" :
