FUNKADEMIA : SATURDAY : JUNE 23 2007
Disco, Funk, Soul and a bit of the other.
10-3AM
Guest DJ - Jason Boardman
Funkademia continues its adventures in clubland this Saturday night and welcomes one of the original members of Yellow, Mr Jason Boardman. Jason joined Dave Haslam in 1992 when 'Yellow' at the Boardwalk dominated Friday nights in Manchester with its mix of disco, rare groove, deep funk, and classic soul. Now along with his partners in crime Moonboots and Tim Ellis, he hosts the highly respected, long-running 'Aficionado' monthly Sunday night which celebrates its 9th birthday in June this year.
http://www.myspace.com/aficionadomcr Jason has also made recent guest DJ appearances in Manchester at the Yellow Reunion, Stylus, Electric Chair and El Diablo's Social Club. He lists his influences from a massive back catalogue of soul, funk, disco, and electronic music from the last 30 years. His motto is 'anything goes' and he is still as passionate as back in 1992 and is still collecting vinyl when others have long given up. We look forward to welcoming Jason Boardman this Saturday night at One Central Street.
