CHAGSTOCK Festival organisers have confirmed that British funk and soul legends Soul II Soul will headline the Friday night of the event in July.

Best known for the timeless classics Back to Life and their breakthrough smash hit Keep On Movin’, they’ve sold over 10-million albums, performed live in over 20 countries, and headlined some of the most famous venues in the world, including Wembley.

They’ve been recognised throughout their 29-year career, winning two Grammies and being nominated for five Brit Awards.

Their iconic frontman Jazzie B was awarded an OBE for services to music in the 2008 New Year’s honour’s list, has been given the keys to no less than five US cities including LA and New York and an ironwork sculpture of him stands proudly in his birthplace Finsbury Park as recognition of his contribution and inspiration to the community.

Indian singer-songwriter extraordinaire Raghu Dixit has also been added to the bill, alongside the Dub Pistols.

Hailing from Bangalore in Southern India, Raghu Dixit’s music is a weaving of Indian ethnic folk, Sufi and classical with other traditional and contemporary influences from across the globe.

His lyrics, though intense, are simple and speak about every common man’s emotions and experiences, and his unique songwriting and vocal delivery have earned him a treasured place in the both the traditional and contemporary folk and world music scenes. Raghu is also a hugely successful film composer, having scored more than 20 movies in five different languages.
