American DJ and record producer, Frankie Knuckles is in Southport this weekend. The 54-year-old remix artist is playing Southport Weekender 2009.

In 2005, Knuckles was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame for his achievements as a DJ.
Frankie has worked alongside Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, Diana Ross, Eternal and Toni Braxton to name a few.
