he Bournemouth Soul & House Weekender (BSH) is the ultimate celebration of soul, house, and the town’s rich music heritage. Born from the vision of Keith McNicol—fashion and music icon, and founder of Richmond Classics since 1988—this weekender revives the energy of classic UK weekenders with a modern twist.
Keith teamed up with Bournemouth music legends Bob Povey & Jon Coomer, aka Bump N Hustle, to create a multi-arena festival experience right on the coast. Jon Coomer says:
“Memories will be reignited, people will gather as ‘One Nation Under a Groove’, and Keith’s vision will no longer just be a dream but a lasting reality.”
Adding an extra dimension to the event, Vocal Booth Radio, the brainchild of Jon and Andy Ward, brings years of passion, community, and musical expertise to Bournemouth. From decades of international DJing to top 10 production credits, Andy Ward’s involvement ensures this isn’t just a party—it’s a legacy in the making.
With 7 miles of golden beaches, standout venues, incredible local food, and a music-driven community, Bournemouth is ready to reclaim its place on the UK dance map.
Bournemouth is Back, Baby!
