“We are working closely with them to bring this very special night to Southport. It should be fantastic.
“It’s a real pleasure to host such a world-renowned DJ in our space, especially after the recent renovations of our DJ booth.
“We have also installed a new lighting system, a new sound system, and our new seating area.
“Banff is the perfect size and quality for a DJ of Judge Jules’ calibre to come with the very best facilities for music events like this.
“This is such a unique, one-off event. Excitement has really been building this week! Tickets sales are doing extremely well.
“It will be an unforgettable intimate show for all involved to get Up Close And Personal with an internationally renowned DJ at an event where you wouldn’t normally get the chance to do this.
