It may have rained on Saturday, but that did not dampen our party spirits!

Nammos Beach will play host to two amazing musical talents – Russell Small & Jon Sa Trinxa. What better way to spend the day, than endlessly dancing in the sand to fabulous music!

Russell Small, one half of the internationally acclaimed “The Freemasons” will be guest DJ at Nammos Beach. Recognised as one of the most Grammy nominated re-mixers of his generation, Russell has worked with Beyonce, Kylie Minogue and more recently on Whitney Houston’s newest release “Million Dollar Bill” (Aug 2009). Originally from Brighton, England, he has been written up as the “UK’s Biggest Funky House DJ”!

On the other side of the tracks will be Jon Sa Trinxa from the chilled out beaches of Ibiza. He will quickly tell you that life wasn’t always this way. After a run of disappointments while travelling, he found himself snoozing on the beach near a bar where a DJ had not shown up for work. Seizing the opportunity, he jumped behind the discs and the rest as they say, is history – He has been a resident there now, since 1994, so he knows a chilled-out beach tune.

So, bring your best beach party vibe as the music will play from 3pm onwards……
