MORNING Carnival people! Looking gorgeous out there already
First off - donations. Carnival needs support to survive and they're asking for people to donate via text.
Text "CARN45 £1" to 70070 to donate £1.
Text "CARN45 £2" to 70070 to donate £2.
Text "CARN45 £3" to... etc etc
Can't rely on old Red Trousers to help out if it goes tits up, he's got enough on his plate promoting his own bars etc
Roni Size & Dynamite MC are on at 6pm on the Main Stage, Laid Blak & Tippa Irie at 9:45 and DJ Derek at midnight
I'm looking forward to Turbulence at the Star & Garter where the line up is topped by DJ Die playing a two hour set
King Kong at Winkworth Place is usually worth a look, Bristol underground scene. Negus Melody at the William Street/City Road junction should have the Roots and Dub end of things covered and there'll be a dozen or more other rigs, official and unofficial, to help get everyone's dancing feet moving
Parade is at noon, soundsystems are on until 2am
See you down there
