Unfortunately budgetary constraints became apparent at the last minute (no doubt due to the heaving line-up on Saturday night), and we had to pull him. Which is a great shame as to my knowledge he has never played the UK before and he is a **** amazing producer (track down any of his tunes on April records, or the killer 'Mand over bord' on EC Records). I understand what people are saying about the 'Special Guest' thing being a bit of a cop-out, but sometimes lineups have to be released before they can be fully confirmed (as was the case here). Anyway, I have no doubt that the residents (myself included, hurrah!) will rock the spot just as much as we did last year - and I'm sure anyone that was there then will agree that it was an amazing night, and weekend in general...
ill second that.
