Hi good people, thoroughly enjoyed Caister. Sunburst Band - Everyday, THE tune (or should that be tuuuunnnne) of the Weekender. Well done to EVERYONE involved for bringing a smile to my face on a cold and wet wintry October, and CORR what an explosion at finale. Was also pleasantly surprised to see a couple of Funk Tribes. Hey, wouldn't it be great if the Funk Tribes started out en masse again ????. Ilford Funk Union, hey guys let's start it up again !!!!
Eddy
Maybe the tribes are still there , but older, fatter , and without hair, whistles,(thank god)
t-shirts and banners .
Gravesend Groover veteran here
Forgot to mention that I also belonged to a tribe called the "Pheasant Pluckers" (Romford based). However, we soon abandoned the name as most of the time we were too F g pissed to say it properly. We then digressed using the more basic variant, but unfortunately never backed it up with a new TShirt or Banner.
Allo Maaaaates!!!!Lawrence,great to see you maaaate,The Southend Souldier should now be recruiting the veterans for the reunion on Sat down The Lacy.
Eddy,sorry that our chat in The VIP room was so limited but Froggy must have broken all records for talking bollox to you-Did you understand a word?Utmost respect if you didnt-Your polite nod of the head showed that you have patience beyond the capability of most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Dave, good to see you too M8. Would love to have caught up with you @ the Lacy for a chat but unfortunately can't make this one. Will catch up with you at the next one in November.
Lawrence me ole china - just spoke to Linda and hav sent u a mail with her home number - she would luv 2 catch up Also, she still keeps in touch with Donna and Juliet - do u remember them 2?
Wow Soldier & co, it looks like i've started something off here. Gonna change my name to Cilla and don a Ginger Wig. Seriously though, i'm glad to have put some old friends in touch, let us know what develops.
On another subject "Frostie, you little minx", hijacking Dave's ID and then writing controversial stuff. I hope Dave has reprimanded you accordingly.
Hi Souldier & Bev, whoops sorry for the accidental typo. Typed Soldier instead of Souldier (serves me right for posting it off without checking. Enjoy yer reunion (maybe at the Lacy Lady in November ??).
I'm sure that Frostie wouldn't want to give the impression that just because he's not around in November,"WE" would not be at the Lacy, so we'll see you there,Eddy.Greg Edwards will also be "OUR" guest DJ on the night[6TH november]
I'll definatly be there without a doubt, can't wait (Chris, i'll even do the warm up session for you if you want). Also will try and steer Greg away from playing bloody Shalamar etc (no, that's a joke, Greg is a star no matter what he plays, but I must admit to enjoying his less commercial sets a bit more). Enjoy Southport Frostie . Calling all ex Ilford Funk Union/Pheasant Pluckers, if you're out there email me and we'll try and organise a get together at the Lacy - no time like the next one.
Just read this posting again.How good would it be if the tribes did get going again with diffrent name.....here are a few to get started...DIVORCED AND HAPPY CREW, HRT LADIES,DROPPED AND DROOPY BOY CLUB(sponcerd by VIAGRA)
