OK, so it’s not quite December party season yet, but hey, we still all need a good party. Especially after missing out this time last year…
We’re back at the Victoria Stakes for our 21st Sure is Funky on Saturday 20 November. Thanks for all your support.
For those who have been before and come back for more – we salute you.
And if it’s your first time ever, you should expect a busy dance floor from the get-go, as we mix up Northern, Funk, Disco, Soul, Motown, Stax and Philly, plus a bit of Sugarhill and Def Jam. With a few re-works and re-edits thrown in for good measure.
See you on the dance floor.
Spread the word. Tell your mates.
Dust down your dancing shoes.
And smile. We all need to smile.
So What is
Sure Is Funky?
We’ve been running parties for the last five years or so in North London playing a mix of funk, northern, disco, hip hop and rare groove.
We played our first party in Hornsey Town Hall Arts Centre (where we both work) expecting maybe 50 or 60 friends to come along out of a sense of duty.
But we were delighted to be proved wrong.
When we sold out the Supper Room on that first night we knew we were on to a good thing. And we’ve been putting on parties ever since.
We love the music we play. But what really makes our parties work is the people who come. An amazing crowd who all have one thing in common – a desire to dance and have a good time.
And for that, we thank you.
