Funkademia takes place every Saturday to a consistently full house, feeding a friendly crowd with a diet of pure unadulterated soul-funk. It bills itself as a 'chronological history of soul' with our dj collective taking you on a journey through four decades of the very best soul, funk, disco and hip-hop with a touch of smooth r and b and some big house classics. Funkademia does sell out most weeks so you are advised to either arrive early or purchase advance tickets from Skiddle, this way you can avoid the queues or even the sold out sign.
Funkademia has been filling dance floors since 1995 and is Manchester's longest running club night!!!
