Grammy Award-winning music artist, Craig David, best known for the smash hit singles ‘Re-Rewind’, ‘Fill Me In’ and ‘7 Days’ kicked off Three Friday Nights at Goodwood in Chichester.

"It was a sellout event combining the thrill of horseracing with music and dancing. Thousands of locals and visitors from across the South of England flocked to Goodwood Racecourse, with tickets having sold out weeks ago.

“The overwhelmingly positive feedback has everyone eager to see upcoming DJs Gok Wan on 14th and Dimitri from Paris on 21st June. Tickets for both events are still on sale for what will be an incredible day out for all who attend."

Connor, who was at the event said: “It’s been a great day out, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are excited about seeing Craig David. There’s been some excellent races today and I’d definitely come again to this sort of event.”
