I cannot tell you how excited we are to be announcing our return to this iconic venue, The Grand Hotel, Weston Super Mare......our first 3 events were held here, and all sold out within weeks of ticket sales opening, sadly covid kicked in, the venue went into receivership and we relocated to the Tropicana, this worked well as we had more space to 'socially distance' when we were finally allowed to open the doors after lockdown, the general consensus has always been though that everyone missed The Grand Atlantic, with it's beautiful sprung dancefloor, so I did a little negotiating and we are back there, love love love it! So come join myself and Ian Rossiter for yet another night of dancing and merriment, with the finest Northern Soul, R & B, Motown and Modern Soul.....we are tried and tested at keeping the dance floors full by spinning our vinyl in the Soul Rooms at Scooter Rallies nationwide including SWSC National rally at Woolacombe, Exmouth, Weston & Weymouth plus Hayling, Teignmouth, Warmwell, Run From The Scum, Scootermaniacs weekend, Modrapheniacs Rally, Northern Soul Island, Soul on the Sea, Moorland Mayhem, Halfway House, Run to the Riviera, Camber Sands, Celtic Rally (France), Ireland, Spain, and fabulous Las Vegas - yeah baby.........
