Tavares

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
The five-brother singing group Tavares may be best known for such uptempo hits as the million-selling single "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," "More Than a Woman," and "Whodunit," but they first came to national attention with the luscious ballad "Check It Out." Their crisp vocalizing and clean-cut, boy-next-door image made them favorites on Johnny Carson's and Mike Douglas' talk shows, and on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. In 1974, Tavares also had the first hit version (number one R&B) of "She's Gone," written by the then relatively unknown duo of Daryl Hall and John Oates. Hall & Oates scored a number seven pop hit with the song in 1976.

Fatback Band

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
The Fatback Band made many great singles throughout the '70s and early '80s, ranging from humorous novelty tunes to energetic dance vehicles and even occasional political/message tracks. They shortened their name to Fatback in 1977, and landed their first Top Ten R&B hit with "I Like Girls" in 1978. Their 1979 single "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is widely considered the first rap single in many circles. But their biggest year was 1980. They scored two Top Ten R&B hits with "Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)" and "Backstrokin'," their finest tune. Fatback kept going through the mid-'80s, landing one more Top 20 hit with "Take It Any Way You Can Want It" in 1981.

Soul II Soul

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
Soul II Soul are a British musical collective formed in London in 1988. They are best known for their 1989 UK chart-topper and US top five hit "Back to Life", and "Keep On Movin'" which reached number five in the UK and number 11 in the US.

“We’re from the days when a number 14 bus and a supermarket trolley got us around.” Jazzie B remembers the lengths he and a school friend used to go to play dances with their first sound system when they were just 13 years old. It sums up the determination, resourcefulness and a love for music, that got Soul II Soul where it is today.

Kenny Thomas

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
Kenny Thomas was one of the most popular UK soul dance vocalists of the early 1990s. His biggest UK hit came in 1991 with ‘Thinking About Your Love’ (number 4), while his debut album sold more than 600, 000 copies in the UK alone. Other hit singles spawned by that debut included ‘Outstanding’, ‘The Best Of You’ and ‘Tender Love’, and also resulted in a Brit Award nomination for Best British Male Vocalist and Best British Newcomer. The warm, relaxed dance grooves of that debut were replicated on a second album that continued Thomas’ massive commercial success. Guest musicians this time round included the Young Disciples, Nu Colours and the Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra. This time some of the bonhomie of the original set was more restrained, with a slightly more mature lyrical vision reflecting more real-life experiences.

Heather Small

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
Heather Small, a lead vocalist born and raised in London, England, was first a member of Hot House, an R&B trio that released a pair of albums during the late '80s. Shortly after Hot House's breakup, she joined the Manchester-based and further house-oriented M People.M People’s four albums released throughout the '90s reportedly sold over ten million copies worldwide. Following on Small released her first solo album, Proud, in 2000. It was a significant retreat from the dancefloor, featuring a mixture of R&B and rock - the kind of material that wouldn't have been out of place on albums by Seal, Sade, or Des'ree. After spending several years away from music to raise a child, she returned in 2006 with Close to a Miracle.

Alison Limerick

Performing on Saturday 3rd September 2022
Alison Limerick began her music career during the mid-'80s, after attending the London School of Contemporary Dance, and lending backing vocals to high-profile recordings like the Style Council's 1985 LP Our Favourite Shop. A year later, 4AD label chief Ivo Watts-Russell tapped her to appear on Filigree & Shadow, the second album from his all-star This Mortal Coil project; Limerick also appeared on the follow-up, 1991's Blood. Work with Peter Murphy (1992's Holy Smoke) followed before Limerick finally made her solo debut in 1994, teaming with renowned dance producers David Morales and Frankie Knuckles for hits including "Where Love Lives" and the U.K. Top 20 smash "Make It on My Own"; the full-length With a Twist appeared the same year. The 1996 remix collection, Club Classics followed, and a year later Limerick returned with "Put Your Faith in Me.”
Alison will perform in the Garden arty Tent at the Soultown Festival.

The Dualers!

Performing on Sunday 4th  September 2022
British ska band the Dualers started out as buskers. Gradually building a huge fan base, they self-released multiple albums, played to massive crowds, and scored two U.K. Top 30 hit singles, all without any label backing. Starting out as a duo before expanding to a regularly rotating nine-piece lineup, they performed on the streets for several years and toured heavily, eventually building enough of a fan base that their debut single, "Kiss on the Lips," released in 2004, went to number 21 on the U.K. chart. A second single, "Truly Madly Deeply," was released the following year and went to number 23; it was later used on the soundtrack of the romantic adventure film Fool's Gold, starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.

Clockwork Orange 

Hosting the Garden Party Tent on Sunday 4th September
Clockwork Orange was born way back in London January 1993, the 23rd to be precise at The Old Paddocks nightclub in High Holborn in London’s West End.

Tours of Britain followed with clubs and student unions, branching out to Tenerife, Majorca and Ayia Napia for the summer seasons.  In 1997 Clockwork was approached to be part of a small production Ibiza documentary series entitled IBIZA UNCOVERED. This spotlight rocketed Clockwork to the top of the pile as what you saw is what you got, pure unadulterated amazing fun and atmosphere. The club record for attendance at Es Paradis was broken in September 1997 by Clockwork (previously held in 1995 by Up Your Ronson).
Clockwork then went on to break the record every week of the 10 week summer season of 1998 with the club peaking at 3500 people, the top grossing night of all nights of 1998. Clockwork Ibiza never sold an advance ticket, the only club not to have done so in the 90s. Clockwork Orange will be rocking the Garden Party Tent at the 2022 Soultown Festival on Sunday 4th September!
