What are people's thoughts on the line-up? Any recommendations? I've recently got into Bonobo and Caribou as a result of listening to bands that are gonna be at the Big Chill that I hadn't heard of, and they are really good.

I'm considering it on the sole basis of the Thom York set.  I'm a big Massive Attack fan too, so that would be an added bonus.  Plus it would be great to see M.I.A., although Sunday's line up looks pretty poor.

I've been to Bestival and really enjoyed it, and I've heard Big Chill is supposed to be similar.  If I can persuade my friends I'll definitely give it a go.  

I'm really poor at geography.  How easy is it to get there from London, and how long does it take?

The journey on the train from London Paddington to Great Malvern is between 2 hour 35mins to 2 hours 45 mins.   At Great Malvern there will be a shuttle bus operating which will take about another 15 mins to the festival site.

The Big Chill is a little similar to Bestival I suppose.  Except for the BC seems to attract more classier type people.  For instance you will see a LOT of people with picnics(along with bottles of wine) with chairs at the main stages.  Some people may see this as a positive, whilst some see it as a negative.  Also for some reason the festival seems to attract a very high percentage of London'ers too.

Does anyone know how late the shuttle bus runs? We are thinking about going after work on Thursday night so arriving at Great Malvern at about 21.10. Or where I can find any information about this, couldn't see it on the big chill website... unless I'm blind  

thanks
