I'm going up on Saturday :) so will definitely be about for a few sherberts on Monday night. Might be able to go for a run too, but I'm with the girlfriend so can't be gone for too long!

Well according to wikipedia-
Funky house is a loose definition for a commercially orientated, disco influenced subgenre of house music.[1] Like most varieties of house, the genre follows a traditional four to the floor house beat, and makes heavy use of synthesizers, samples and soulful vocals, though instrumental tracks are also common. Notable producers that have worked in this genre include the Freemasons, Soul Central, Armand van Helden, StoneBridge and Seamus Haji.

The genre is commercially popular, with record labels such as Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, and Fierce Angel all releasing compilation albums dedicated to the genre.[2][3]

Confusingly the terms "house and funky", and "funky" have also been used to describe an offshoot of the UK garage genre heavily based on funk samples and R&B style vocals over a "broken" soca style beat.[4]

So basically its house music thats abit different. As for classics - god knows.

Long range forecast looks good. Sunny spells and a crisp 5c in the valleys. I'm sure it won't change

Re: Xmas on the fells

I think the plan was to meet at Moot Hall, and pretend to be starting a winter Bob Graham. Then when no one was looking, jump in a few cars and drive to Braithwaite leaving a few cars in Keswick as there's not much parking at Braithwaite...

This year I've been to Colombia, Pakistan, Israel, Bangladesh and I'm sorting out a trip for the New Year to meet a fella I've only ever spoken to on the phone near the Estonian / Russian border. I think I'll be okay for a night in Cumbria ;) Mind you the thought of a fully fired-up Amex strutting his funky stuff in 45inch white flares scares me sh*tless! :eek:

Re: Xmas on the fells

What time do you expect to be back from the run? Have got a works night out on Monday night instead of working the night shift so could zip up on the motorbike for the run but have to be back for 6pm to do the nightshift.

You booked that vivid events thing then DT? (£15 a night and no curfew). I'm just sewing the sequins onto my mankini and practising my early morning karaoke version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough".

Somehow I don't think flooring it is a desireable outcome whilst on a two wheeled 100mph+ vehicle
