Freestylin' Promo

Freestylin' Back at The Mark Addy

Yes it`s happened. Freestylin' is back at it's original home of the Mark Addy in Manchester (Salford really). Dancing to some of the coolest Soul and Jazz feet away from the banks of the River Irwell right in the centre of Manchester. Summer Freestylin' gigs have the added bonus of that great patio by the river. Be you up for the dancin' or sittin on the patio soaking in the style you won't get a greater location in the city. City vibes, urban cool and jazzy grooves. It has everything you could want in a venue.

........AND this time folks sees the return of the Grand Poo Bah of all things groove ...Mr Colin Curtis.
Colin will be joining Paul Goldsmith and I for that phat heavy slab of groove that is Freestylin'

Join us. See you there....

Freestylin' ?

For me it`s the jazzy side of things. Freestylin' is all about creating a contemporary setting for those who love to dance to their soul and jazz. To give a modern twist to the flavours of Jazz Funk and Soul. Big fat Latin and Bossa beats to envelope your senses and give you the beat to shake your stuff to. Funky bass lines and uber cool jazz rhythms. Whist tipping our hat to the dance floor classics and Jazzfunk grooves back in the day we`re bringing things up to date with new music wherever we can find it. It has it`s own flavour and atmosphere.

The crowd ?

Second to none. They know what they want ….............they wanna dance and they know how to. They expect their big slab of funky cool jazz and it is served straight in their face. They cheer for their fave tracks and they are not afraid to sweat. It`s infectious and the tracks just keep coming. They come to Freestylin' cus there just isn`t anywhere else to hear this groove with a dance floor under their feet.....simples.!! and just when you get a handle on the tracks we will always find a new one or dig in the box for something special. Cool music for cool people who dance.

Tony`s DJ Engagements Summer 2013.

I am pleased to announce several DJ bookings over this summer where I can guarantee you can get your chance to dance to Fro-Disia style of nujazz, Latin and funky grooves.

  

I`m often asked where I`m going to be playing so I`m taking the opportunity of posting up the dates etc.  I have my next regular DJ spot at Freestylin` on Bank Holiday Sunday May 26th  at Matt & Phreds in Manchester. Freestylin is into it`s 4th year.












On Saturday the 29th of June I will be DJing at the UK`s longest running Soul and Jazz Funk night outside of London. Blackburns King George`s Hall which is in it`s 19th year ( I know because I went to the very first one), has 3 rooms covering Northern Soul and Motown, 80s - 2013 Modern Soul and Jazz Funk and club classics. I will be joing Mark Grice and Ian G in the Jazz Funk room. Mark and I go back a long way and he was one of the first people to appreciate nujazz etc. So I am please to be offered a spot by organiser and soul legend  Richard Searling to play a Fro-Disia set of nujazz, funky grooves at one of the biggest venue in the UK.

Sunday the 21st of July - `Summer In The Park` All Dayer.

The 3rd time around for this grat event on the soul calander. Once again the fantastic Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors, Blackburn is the setting for a 3 room event of classic Northern, Connoisseurs Soul and Soulful House, Jazz and Weekend Anthems. In addition the hotel`s courtyard provides a cool summer bar-b-que atmospere with blissful music.
A big hit of jazz/nujazz n funky suff supplied by my good self in the Townley Suite. Always a great day is this with music all day and night. Take my advice book a room and take it all in. Great venue and glad to be involved.

 

So a busy summer of cool music followed by a Freestylin in August and a home town soul re-union bash in September. 

The Next Freestylin Night at Matt & Phreds, Manchester.
