Omar added: “Soul and reggae music has played an important role in British history. The music and the scene has helped break cultural barriers due to the infectious beats of soul and reggae. A dedicated festival to the genre is a great step in the right direction for music festivals in the UK.”

Janet Kay said: “Nostalgia is a wonderful thing taking people back to the music they grew up with and still love today. Great music lasts forever.”
