Hi, thanks for coming along to Soul essence 24 hope you've all had a good year since we all met up last time out here on the cold Norfolk Coast .Soul Essence this time is relying on you to go easy on the wrist actions , as we are introducing a new admission system involving wrist bands ! . The idea is that you keep them on your wrist all weekend so we can see if you've paid ,simple ! well we'll see .This of course means no more piss taking for us when your photos arrive, but the upside is it should make admission to the hotel easier and speedier (says Gavin ).

The fame of our event and our DJ's continues to spread , allnighters , weekenders ,Pan European jaunts and now even Sky Sports . There I was sitting having a beer with the tele on in the background when I happen to glance around and see Steve Guarnori looking out of the box over Svens shoulder as he is being interviewed . The next week I jump in the car on the way home from work switch on the radio and it's The Gouch coming out of the speakers having his twopenny worth about who should be the next England manager . Where this will end is anyones guess , Gavin in Big (bigger) Brother ? , Mike Charlton in Auf Weidersen pet? And could Sam once have featured in Dads Army? -all may be revealed this weekend .

Hope you've had time to check out the ever improving web-site, some great pictures on there at the moment, this thanks to Russ Edkins.

Enjoy the weekend it goes so quickly , and thanks for sharing it with us.
