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.
