One of the great things about playing Butlin's Soul Weekenders is that you get to meet, some fab artists … James ‘D Train’ Williams was at Bognor as a guest of the Good For Tha Soul DJs and popped over to catch Des Grant’s DJ set just after us so we took the opportunity to grab a chat and a snap 😁

Another enjoyable weekend for us, thanks to Butlins for booking and looking after us. Big thanks to those who came along to our sets and to anyone we chatted with. Our thanks also go to our friends Eddie Piller, Funk Klub, Phil Baker and Lloyd Attrill for coming along with us!
