The thought of waking up hungover to hell and with sore feet from hours of House Classics, then having to sit down to breakfast with Pudgy is indeed scary :eek: I think I might sleep on the Moot hall steps instead :cool:Quote:

Nice to see I'm not the only one who hasn't sorted any accommodation out yet. Stupid YHA curfew, they have a numberpad thing on the door now but still insisted I got back at 11:30 when I last stayed in the summer :(Quote:

I'm driving up Monday morning, expect to get to Keswick area around 10am if any wants a run/walk. If not maybe I can tempt people with a few beers in the evening?:cool:
I ended up sprinting through the streets of Keswick (yeah, right) and getting to the YHA at about the time you were lacing your dancing shoes up last year Steve :eek:Quote:

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.
All the more reason to get too drunk, then you'll still be tipsy when it comes to doing the shopping and you can make some inspired purchases :)Quote:
