Funkademia

Funkademia is Manchester's longest running club night. Funkademia has been filling dance floors since 1995 and is Manchester's longest running club night!!!

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 week

s 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.
