Hello everyone, hope all is well.....

Just wanted to let you know about the upcoming Vintage 2011 festival........After the phenominal success of last years event at Goodwood,this year its being held in Londons Prestigous Southbank Centre on 29th 30th 31st July........

As its still in its final planning stage theres no definate line-up for Live Acts but last year saw incredible performances from the likes of Leroy Hutson,Ann Sexton, Joe Bataan, Martha Reeves............So you know its gonna be a class act !

Deejay wise last year saw Norman Jay,Colin Curtis,Chris Hill, Ady Croasdell,Bob Jones,Eddie Pillar,Val Palmer,Ian Dewhirst,Johnny T,Lloyd Attrill ,Chris Bangs and many more....

Expect a similar quality line up and some surprises......

Personally speaking, i thought it was the best event ive ever been to,taking in not only Soul Music in a very professional manner but theres just so much else going on........Music and Fashion have always gone hand in hand... It was awsome.

I cant imagine theres anyone who went along who didnt absolutely love it..........

Oh, and please dont delay in purchasing your tickets. It will definately sell out.....
