Funk????
Overall rating: 2.5

Used to go to Funkademia years back at The Attic, it was awesome.

Listened to Funkademia streams from the website - awesome again.

NYE - where was the funk??!!! Just pile of ****e R&B for the chavs that appeared from nowhere.

Sort yourselves out!!

New Years Eve
Overall rating: 3

Had a good time at Funkademia in the past, so was expecting the same again on New Years. Deeply disappointed with the music though, was not expecting crappy RnB ALL night! Good company and atmosphere and the drinks were pretty cheap but the music put a downer on it for me i'm afraid.

Let down on NYE!
Overall rating: 3

We booked our tickets thinking we'd be listening to music from the 60s, 70s and 80s, especially funk (seeing as the night was called funkademia!) but the majority of music was r'n'b which really is NOT our thing. At one point, a song came on with the lyrics 'Lick my pussy, lick my crack' which is when we decided to leave to get some food from Fresh Bite across the road (highly reccommended). The music really was a huge let down and the only redeeming thing of buying tickets to mint lounge was the fact we could go there (after getting our hands stamped) to use the toilet in between finding different places to drink at.

What a waste of my NYE night out
Overall rating: 2.5

There was a pretty good atmosphere but I went there to listen to Funk music not crap RNB. Definitly wouldn't bother wasting so much money going there again.

awful night
Overall rating: 1

Worse club ive ever been to. Any decent tune trashed by the dj. Left after an hour when the same Michael Jackson song was played for the 3rd time. More like a school disco than funk.

Flight Facilities and the Mint Lounge
Overall rating: 5

Flight Facilities knocked it out that night and the Mint lounge is a great venue I'd highly recommend everyone get down there for a Clique night. Drinks weren't 8 year old pocket money but the weren't bad at all. All in all an amazing night!!

Joe Nice was sick! He loves his dubstep thats for sure and he reps the sound over in America so it was wicked to see him while he was in the UK. Sick night.

Grum @ Clique
Overall rating: 4

First visit to the Mint Lounge and I really liked it. People seemed pretty cool but not up themselves.
Resident DJ played some great records but his mixing skills were lacking.
Grum was fantastic tho. An 80's feel but cheese free. I was probably one of the few people there that recognised pretty much every track he played but then I am a child of the 80's!! Can't wait to see him again.

Funka New Year



Not as good as expected.Too many chancers,too many safe tunes (M.Jackson overload),wish I'd gone to Sankeys.Enjoyed the club singer murdering Auld lang Syne.Happy New Year.

Not sure if you've been to Funkademia before or not? 3 MJ tunes in 6.5 hours isn't overload in my book. Not sure what you mean by chancers?

Overall rating: 3

We had expected different kind of music and more dj's and more different tunes. I liked the music, but it was not the music I came for to Funkademia.
Some friends wanted to come afterwards, but because the entrance had gone to 25 pounds, they decided not to come.
Wish I had gone to The Warehouseproject.
