Soul royalty will descend upon canalside food, leisure and entertainment destination Binks Yard, on 14 September at Bohemian Soul, an all-day festival dedicated to the velvet grooves of live, funk, soul, reggae, hip-hop, and more.

Starting strong at 2pm, cultural icon DJ Don Letts will play an exclusive two-hour DJ set of reggae, dance hall and experimental dub, followed by a line-up of specially selected live bands who will play until 10pm. Closing the show will be the iconic founder of Soul II Soul and world-renowned DJ Jazzie B, playing the best soul, r'n'b, hip-hop and dance classics.

Artists performing across the day include Bristol’s funk, disco and hip-hop producer duo, The Allergies, known for reworking dance floor classics and skillfully mixing samples to offer feel-good “funk and soul for the 21st century”, as said by DJ Craig Charles.

Ben Hicklin, head of events at Binks Yard, said: “This is a real treat for music lovers, with a day full of the very best sounds from some of the biggest names in funk, soul and reggae from across the UK. From legendary cultural icon DJ Don Letts to Soul II Soul star and world-renowned DJ Jazzie B, and a showstopping set list of incredible acts, it’s set to be a fantastic day.

“During September we’re often lucky to enjoy an extended period of good weather, but after investing in our outdoor space this year and installing our stretch tent cover, whatever the weather, visitors can enjoy everything the day has to offer. We’re seeing the summer off in true Binks style with a party like no other and tickets are selling fast, so we’d encourage anyone wanting to join us to secure theirs now, or risk missing out.”

Ticket holders can benefit from happy hour drinks prices from 2 – 3pm, while food can be enjoyed in the main Binks Yard restaurant until 6pm and all day from the outdoor kitchen
