Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for all day soul-a-thon!

Superb lineup , suberb tunage right across the soul spectrum , great crowd , great venue ... event of the year even though it's just the end of February ... 

Roll on the next one ... 

Just want to thank everyone who came, it was a superb night and all the DJs played fantastic sets. Our door staff were also excellent, many thanks. We had a couple of issues - one with sound in one room for very short while, and the light issue was also odd but we think it was mainly due to inexperienced staff at the venue. We'll note those down for next time. 

Many thanks again!
