"Yup, this will definitely go down as one THE all time great gigs of my career"

Norman Jay, on The Big Chill 2008

"The atmosphere is great, whilst wandering the first night it has struck me that everyone here is really letting their hair down and going wild, which is something I hadn't anticipated with it being called The Big Chill. I was very much mistaken, the chill aspect of the festival is just as strong as its counterpart - the party! It's a really manageable size and even though the ages range from babies to 60 year olds, for the younger generation - it still remains one big party."
