6ts Weekenders, but not as you know it


6TS Weekenders have been sold to Soul Partners aka Phil Dick and Neil Rushton.

After 25 years of blind panic and last minute fixes, I’ve decided to fully retire from organising the weekender, but will continue to DJ and aim to whoop it up a tad more. Phil and Neil will run everything though I will help them in the transition. I will be involved for at least three more years by which time most of us will be ga-ga anyway. 2019 will be remarkably like the others except better run and I’ll smile more.

The event takes place over the weekend of June 7th to 9th 2019 at The Beachcomber Holiday Park.

Carolyn is one of the few artists to have recorded for both Tamla Motown and Philadelphia International, was a member of Chapter 8, and her amazing vocals on Hamilton Bohannon’s “Let’s Start The Dance” have made it one of dance music’s most iconic....

I doubt there'll be many changes at all but Phil & Neil will sort out when they've recovered from Detroit.

 

I'm on!

Good luck to all concerned....

Not sure if it's out of fashion now....but to hear the likes of Jock Mitchell belting out the tunes up close and personal is the icing on the cake.

Carolyn Crawford was brill at last year's Detroit gig.
