FUNKFEST

About Me

FUNKFEST ON SATURDAY JULY 11TH 2009 AT THE STEAMBOAT TAVERN, IPSWICH WITH SMALL TOWN BULLIES, SOUTH OF THE BORDER, HOUSEWORK AND HEAD-FULL. ENTRY £5 ON THE DOOR INLUDING FOOD SERVED AT AROUND 9PM. THE FUNK WILL GET UNDERWAY AT AROUND 5.30PM. The concept of FunkFest is simple: fantastic live funk bands with funky DJing in between the bands. The idea is to a) provide a platform for funk bands to perform to a crowd of dedicated funk followers and to check out other funk bands in the area, b) to give the people out there who properly appreciate funk music the perfect night and c) educate a few people who aren't familiar with funk about just what a great genre of music it is. FunkFests have so far only taken place at the Steamboat Tavern in Ipswich and there will be more there during 2008. I’ll also be taking FunkFest to Zing Wine Bar in Ipswich during 2008 and hopefully to other towns in East Anglia. See you at a FunkFest soon!
