#25 - Funkademia 17th Birthday

Episode 25 of the Skiddle.com Weekends Matter podcast is now available for your listening pleasure

In our 25th episode we focus on a one of the UK's longest running weekly club nights, Funkademia, who are celebrating their 17th birthday this weekend!

Funkademia began life as a one off club night back in Manchester in 1995 but soon grew into a weekly night described by themselves as a 'chronologicial history of soul' Each week their team of resident DJ's play a selection of soul, funk, disco, hip-hop, classic RnB and house to a full house with the sold out signs going up around midnight

DJ's such as Norman Jay, Greg Wilson and Graeme Park have graced the decks but the resident DJ's are the backbone of the night. On Saturday 3rd November the duo of David Dunne and Trafford Lovething will be on birthday duties and promise an insight into the past 4 decades of the finest music around. Tickets are still available for the birthday at Mint Lounge in Manchester from Skiddle.

The podcast also features our guide to the top five events happening in across the UK over the next few weeks. Let us know what you think about this episode on Facebook at www.facebook.com/skiddleuk and buy tickets for all events at www.skiddle.com
