A regular favourite and a big track with the connoisseurs, ‘Magic’ will always remind us of the late, great Froggy who played at our first event.

3. ‘London Town’ Light Of The World

A jazz funk soul anthem, members of LOTW and Beggar & Co, along with some of UK’s finest, helped put the event on the map when they performed together back in 2009.

8. ‘I Wish’ Stevie Wonder

One of the soundtracks to both Andy Weekes’ and indeed his family’s lives, no good soul event would be complete without a Stevie classic.

9. ‘My Favourite Person’ O’Jays

One of the greatest finalé tunes we’ve ever played at Summer Soulstice, nearly 4000 people singing and dancing as one to this legendary trio… DJ’s James Anthony & Ash Selector take a bow.

10. ‘Bring The Family Back’ Billy Paul

A class cut from this class artist, we adopted this from our first event as our theme tune, because it’s always been about family.
