Just a quickie:  We don't get out much, but I love all things NS, especially sixties.  She is a Surrey girl and loves her funk.  

 

Is there a large event nationwide or a smaller one in the Midlands that will keep us both happy?

 

And what the heck is "funky edge" anyway?

 

At a guess, something like this?

Or is this more like funky edge?

Just go to Soul Funktion and put any preconceived ideas in a box for the night. It's brilliant.

yep soulfunktion or the soul alley at the Gloucester allnighter (where were you mark?) or gogo children in Bristol

What dates you looking at Dayo.... We run a two room event in Manchester, next event an all dayer with 60s/ 70s northern/ funk/ rare groove.. Sat 4th July...

I think having a separate funk room is a great idea.

Stops it getting played in the main room....

Pumping Hearts Allnighter in Walsall is well worth a visit too. It's a nice mix of 60's & Funk Edged in the one room. Also Burnley Allnighter has roughly the same music policy. Both great venues for like minded folk..........

Colin, just go to the next Soul Funk-tion in Walsall. Dark, hot, sweaty and atmospheric, full of energy and good vibes, some of the music is utterly sublime. Here's a couple of examples of things that get spins.
