Would enough ppl be on for a beers/meet up?

iamstop · 22-04-2011 10:22pm #1

I'm an avid funk fan/collector and love meeting others to share my love of funk and to learn of theirs.
Even if I spent the rest of my life seeking out funk I'll never know it all so I love meeting other funk minded people (the more rare the better ;-0) and I've seen other sub forums on here arrange a beers night so would enough people be on for it to for me to make the effort of booking a room in a bar somewhere and organising a turntable (or set) to sit around, have some beers and jive talk about funk for the night. Taking turns to play your fav funk tunes. No DJ skills needed.

What you think?

Give enough notice so say some time in June? In Dublin.

Wow, an overwhelming response. lol, not.

Ha! for what its worth if I was in Dublin I'd be up for somethin like this. It's good idea, pity there wasn't more of a response

I may have posted this a bit prematurely, seems I may be starting a night in June in a place in Dublin City, gonna be a funk night. Stay tuned I guess. :cool:

The Dublin soul festival is on later in the month. Perhaps you could organise a meet for some boardsies at that or one of the related events.

Keep us updated on your upcoming club night! always good to have more.

I would definitely be up for something like this if I lived closer.

I'd be up for it too if I'm free. Big funk fan, always good to meet some likeminded folk!

Nice to see a bit of interest in this. Well, I'm not just knee deep, I'm totally deep in exams atm but I'm also trying to get this weekly funk night up and running for the start of June. It is slowly coming together and I'll post details as they get confirmed.

Keep it funky y'all. :cool:

Starting June 10th 2011 we're gonna be downstairs in the Thomas House every Friday.

Sounds great, fair play. I've been to some good funk nights there a few years ago. Will defo drop in to it when it starts up. Good luck with it.

I'd be interested in a funky meet up if it's happening.

That night looks pretty good. I look forward to more tunes on my facebook page through the group

iamstop · 18-05-2011 12:26pm

Nice 1 lads.

Right, this seems to have evolved a bit, but I'd like to kinda incorporate the original idea a bit. Here is what I'm thinking:
From 8-9 is the meet up. Funk collectors and fans can bring along a few choice records and play 2 at a time. Have a drink, chat, whatever.
Then at 9 the DJs and MC come on and do their thing. If the 8-9 thing takes off we can stretch it from 7:30 or 7.
Of coarse everyone is welcome to come to the meet up part.
As the night progresses it'll get more up tempo for those who wanna dance. :cool:

Dang, some unexplained shizz going down at the Thomas house, venue closed so this funk night is off for now. I'll be looking for other places so will keep you all posted.

iamstop · 03-06-2011 2:55pm

I just remembered, there is a little room in the back of the Bernard Shaw where I was at a SoundCloud meet up before. If I booked it for some time in July would enough people be interested in showing up with a few records? I've got a vestax portable and I'll bring some decent speakers.
Beer and funk, classic combo! :cool:

Great 1.

So here is the deal:

Saturday 2nd July - The Courtyard of The POD

6-7 is the meet up part. Then 7-11 is The Break DJs and MC doing their thing.
Free in and some great drink specials

From classic funk jams to rare gems, peppered with some soul and disco The Breaks is all that and the dip! :cool:

They loved us so we're doing every Saturday. Stall down this week for a summer funk festival!

fuse · 13-07-2011 8:36pm

Happy days! That's good to hear, I'll try get along to it this Sat.

iamstop · 16-07-2011 2:46pm
