What Is Funk?
Funk is a many splendored thing.
Funk is a nasty vibe, and a sweet sexy feeling.
Funk is a high, but it is also down at the bottom, the low-down earthy essence, the bass elements.
Funk is hot, but funk can be cool.
Funk is primitive, yet funk can be sophisticated.
Funk is a way out, and a way in.
Funk is all over the place.
Funk is that nitty-gritty thang that affects people when things get heavy.
Funk is what you say when nothing else will do.
Funk is whatever it needs to be, at the time that it is...
Sadly, last night marked the last Soul Food gig in Bia Bar. After a year plus of quality Thursday nights of lounge, funk and soul the lads have decided to change directions with the music and will be introducing a new night featuring latin, reggae and drum & bass. Fortunately, I was invited to play one last time at Soul Food and did my best to get the "funk" out. Thanks to those of you that came to listen to me and show your support.
