Summer Soulstice Wins Award

This weekend (Feb 27th) saw members of the Soulstice Crew journey to the seaside resort of Great Yarmouth to pick up a surprise accolade for our humble event…

The East Anglian Soul Music Awards 2016, organised by soul music veterans Richard Routledge & Sean Owen, is fast becoming a must-go-to event on the soul calendar. This year’s awards was held in the town’s Burlington Palm Hotel & was hosted by DJ Bigger, a man well-known to Soulstice crowds.

Summer Soulstice won the Favourite Soul Event (South) almost unanimously according to Richard, with some 500 votes cast for us. Collecting the award on behalf of all the Soulstice Crew, was Jester Groove & Double-J, who thanked everyone who’d voted for us & to the organisers for putting on a great evening. “We shared the accolade on Facebook & Twitter” said chairman Dave James back at Soulstice HQ, “& we have been touched by the overwhelming support & the messages of congratulations from all our supporters!”

Among the other winners on the night was a Lifetime Achievement award for both Dr Bob Jones & DJ Max Rees, while Favourite International Holiday Event went to Bob Masters‘ Ibiza Soul Week & the Favourite Radio Station was won by Stomp Radio.
