ON THIS MONTH: CHILLI<br />
Portrait by Alex Leith<br />
entertainment from his Fruitful Soundsystem,<br />
and various stall-holders, each offering food<br />
with chilli in it (from mild to hot) have been<br />
invited, many of them making a return to the<br />
Festival, including some “boys from Brixton”<br />
making jerk chicken (be prepared to queue) and<br />
the girls from the restaurant Abyssinia, selling<br />
Ethiopian cuisine.<br />
Adrian will be there selling chilli pods, jams<br />
and scones from a stall in the Pavilion, raising<br />
money for Southease village. This year he’s<br />
grown some Carolina Reapers, “the hottest<br />
variety of pepper in the game,” and rest assured<br />
his chilli scones will sell out fast, though expect<br />
to get quite a hit off them: “I’m not going to let<br />
people off easily.”<br />
But will the Festival carry on growing, year on<br />
year? “I bloody hope not,” says Nick. “We don’t<br />
want it to get too big for the Paddock: that<br />
would be a logistical nightmare. This year we’re<br />
not publicising it outside <strong>Lewes</strong>.” Alex Leith<br />
