06/03/09 Greetings from pudding land!

Pretty stoked that SXSW is nearly upon us...

A bit of background info if you’ve never heard of it. SXSW is one of the largest music festivals in the United States, with more than 1,400 performers from around the world playing on over eighty stages in downtown Austin, Texas over four days in March. By day, conference registrants do business in the SXSW Trade Show in the Austin Convention Center and partake of a full agenda of informative, provocative panel discussions featuring hundreds of speakers of international stature.

Running about trying to find Yorkshire pudding recipes that Americans might understand and tekkin tha whippet out for a few last walks down t’ginnel before crossing ova tha pond.

Not just bands there’s a few Yorkshire music, film and interactive types going over too so check out www.y2tx.com

Let’s be ‘avin’ yer! It’s tahm fer a rub-a-dub-dub!

So don’t be shy come down to Latitude 30 on the Saturday. Get there early at 11.30am and make sure you pick up a copy of Independent Sounds of Yorkshire and the Humber 2009. We might even throw in some curd tart and a pickled egg!
