The 1st Ever Funky Flamingo
The Funky Flamingo Steering Group did a fantastic job of
organising the night and hardly showed their nerves at all
as the doors opened... what professionals! Chris Butler
went to open the doors and welcome everyone in and
soon the building was filling up.
DJ Scratch (Chris Landers) was on first as people starting to
come in and although it was a bit loud for some people,
everyone started dancing and enjoying themselves. Next up on
the decks was Dj Phoenix (Chris Butler) who had also been
practising hard and had a great time entertaining the crowd.
Then came the Funky Flamingo Popstars - John Hutchinson
went down very well as he sang his own track and then he was
joined on stage by the other Popstars who did their own
fantastic version of the 'Copacabana' which Darren Moore had
changed the words of to '..at the Funky, Funky Flamingo...' you
get the idea...
After the Popstars it was the first Open Mic section and so
many people wanted to get up and have a go - especially to
sing Abba!!! Next it was DJ Poptastic (Paul ) - and he really
was poptastic... and after Paul had his go on the decks we had
a special guest for you - Sam Dawn the Dancer. Sam went
down very well - the audience wanted more and more and I
have to say she looked exhausted when she came off stage -
but she did say she wanted to do it again!
Next up was the last Open Mic section and so many people
wanted to have a go that we had to turn some of them away -
it's always a good idea to put your name down as soon as you
get there to avoid being disappointed and it seems that
everyone wants a turn! And then, Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis
entered the building - yes the King himself was on stage
crooning to the ladies and entertaining the gents... Elvis had a
great time and has already been asking if he can perform at the
next club so, Ladies and Gentlemen, although he has now left
the building, he will be back!
So then we were onto the home stretch and DJ SAW (Simon
Wilders) took us up a level with his hard house and trance (I
was surprised he managed to DJ after running around and
comparing all night too!) and last but not least was DJ Raver
who certainly lived up to his name and although some people
had gone home by this time (a bit late for a 'school night'!)
those that were left certainly 'had it large' and danced their
socks off! We even had a hardcore raver on stage with his
glowsticks! So that was it in a nutshell - the first of many Funky
Flamingo Club nights to come.
I think everyone who was there will agree that it was a great
night and the staff at The Junction were fantastically helpful.
Thanks to everyone who came along and if you would like to
