A few
commitments by the national and
international media...
Each year the list of credits it receives from the music
industry grows, just as the list of well known acts and A-list
celebrate guest who come to have fun at the outstanding event...
This year in May 2006 the event was hailed as:- "One of
the most important events in the world on the dance music
calendar". Mobo Magazine said it is:-
"One hell of a party", Blues and Soul Magazine said that
it was:- "Three spectacularly soulful days. Bouncing
up and down like duracell bunnies to the best spinners alive.",
Guardian Guide in 2006 said:- "Carefully balancing
a respect for the past, while keeping an eye on future music
trends. Five arenas blast out music until breakfast much to the
delight of dancers.", so do not just take our word for it.
