From Red Dwarf to Robot Wars to Radio 6 and Radio 2 via the cobbles of Coronation Street, Charles’ career has seen him transform from respected actor to musical icon with twenty years of broadcasting under his belt!

​

Craig’s pioneering BBC 6 Music Funk and Soul Show was born in 2002 and has since broadcast live every Saturday night with an assortment of emerging talents and classic gems, earning him global support and recognition as one of the UK’s foremost funk and soul tastemakers, DJs and promoters of new music.

​

With a jammed packed year in the making, the Funk and Soul train keeps movin’ along without a stop in sight – in the words of the dancehall don himself, ‘No sleep till way past bedtime’.

 

Supporting Craig Charles, we have gathered together some of the best Colchester DJs to create a 1 time only "The ALB Soul Collective" which will include sets from "Dutchie", "Ben Howard", "Jimmy K" and "Choc 'N' Gilly"

 

We promise you this is going to be a spectacular festive evening of FUNK & SOUL with amazing tunes and great times we are all going to remember!
