I gave the DJs a miss and went to the smaller Syrcus tent on the hill to try and get warm in the crowd there. Just as well otherwise I’d have missed local band Tacsi. Their music seemed to be a mix of afro/reggae/punk/pop and was very danceable with some witty lyrics. Band line-up was lead singer/harmonica player (quite a character), electric guitar, trumpet, bass, keyboards (too loud in the mix), Zimbabwean kit-drummer and two percussionists. They set up a great vibe and I gradually warmed up to them as I thawed out. They certainly had the audience eating out of their hands and the tent was buzzing on their energy. - Glyn Phillips (WorldMusic.co.uk)
