Big party featuring DJ legends coming to clean up Southend's beaches
A BIG beach party featuring DJ legends will be bringing the noise as residents come together to keep a beloved seafront clean. Sun of a Beach Clean will be coming to Southend seafront on June 14 at 12pm, and will see people descend onto the beach to teach children about the environment and keep the city's beautiful beaches tidy. Following this family-friendly clean-up, a party hosting big names in the house music scene such as Alex P will be held at the Grosvenor Casino on Church Road in Southend, lasting from 7pm to 2am. The event is hosted by PureSea, a non-profit organisation which looks to protect marine life and prevent plastic pollution from entering the ocean. Marcus Bennett, one of the organisers and DJs at the event, is looking forward to the day and is really hoping to raise as much as possible for the organisation's essential work. Right here, right now - Pure Sea organiser Lisa Good, alongside Fatboy Slim at a beach clean event in Brighton last year. (Image: Marcus Bennett) He said: 'The clean-up is really good for the environment, it gets people to think about what they are doing with their rubbish. 'In the afternoon, a party will be organised which is where the money comes in and will go to educating schools about the importance of keeping our waters clean, and reducing our amount of waste. 'It's going to be a rave, house music all night long. With some local and international legends playing. 'I'm a Southend resident, I see what happens to our beaches in the summer months, I think we're all pretty horrified when we see the pictures after everyone departs in the summer and leaves their rubbish. 'I love our seafront, I want to do my bit and make people think a little bit when they visit the beach as well.' Sun of a Beach was founded by Marcus Bennett, Junior Scott, Chris Powell back in 2011. Performers at the after party will include Marcus Bennett, Phil Foggs, Mark Apps, and Junior Scott. Other performers include Paul Goodfellow, MNLY, Macca Markosa, Chris Powell, Urban Allstars, Fluff, Matt Hellicar, Scott Miller, and many more. A five-hour vinyl set will also be taking place in the basement performed by Andrew Wright and Jack Grosvenor. PureSea has held several beach cleaning events across the UK, with music legend Fatboy Slim helping out at a clean last year on Brighton beach.
