All Action at the Arches pt.2

As promised, some pictures from the night.

Firstly, a little fun in the dressing room courtesy of Emfada and Captain Cliktrak (indeed):

Ms. Emfada attempts to blend seemlessly into the background... unsuccessfully as it happens

The Right 'Hon "Captain Cliktrak" inspects the porthole - insert your "oo-err missus" comments here -->

Mere moments later - the Mosa's took to the stage. (pic courtesy of Thomas Neill)

DC faces the wrong way whilst Mairead catches a small cat mid-flight

Crowd mayhem ensued

(n.b. the Mosa Funk Club cannot be held responsible for patrons losing the plot in the course of their set. Patrons Funk at their own risk):

The Arches - smoky, sweaty and funky - all at the same time with Clarky at the Helm of a large tambourine

Meet Marley and Karis: we like them a lot. We think you will too! Not quite sure why that cat next to her looks so perplexed mind you... never seen someone attempt the old "balance the fag on the head" trick before?

Once again, thanks to all the folks who made it down - in our own cute way, we love every single last one of you. Sign up for the mailing list - come to a party. Let go.

All Action at the Arches pt.1

We came, we saw, we funked!

Quite possibly one of the best gigs of the year so far happened at the FunK Room! on friday night. Props to those who made it there on the night- double props to those who danced the night away afterwards on the floor at the Arches after our set ended. Kudos also to DJ Pogo, Freestyle Master, Damaged Goodz and of course, the resident Funk Room! DJs Simon 'Bigbeat' Hodge and Andy 'Divine' Symington.

PC Mad wi' It was there to lend a hand with the percussion duties. Photos to follow but check out our good friend Thomas Neil's website Kokone for evidence of our night. P.S. don't we look nice in green?

Mosa Magic at McChuills

The funk comes alive in the East End

This weekend saw Team Mosa arrive on the oldest street in Glasgow armed with some of the newest, rawest funk sounds out there. Shouts out to the Old Skool Mosa Funkers who attended and a welcome to the Nu-Skool (see below). Thanks to Clarky for top support and introduction, Michael of Sound Acoustic Services for his skills on the Mixing desk and to everyone who stayed to witness an explosive set and then checked out the Aftershow back at the club (see below - click here).

Old Skool Mosas - Birthday Girl Lesley-Ann + Andy, there since gig No.1 - thanks guys!

The table turns on Danny The Photographer (original Snapper of the Mosa Logo)

More original Mosa Monkeys in their natural habitat - Craig and Clarky, cheers guys

Mairead Invited Charlie onstage for a bit of Bongo Action - no Charlie, not with your tongue!

Another amazin' aftershow party back at the Club. Thanks to all the DJs who played blinding sets through the night (until 10 in the morning actually!): Kenny Breaks of Shoogakube - as the name says, a master of the breakbeat; CJ of the Unit - the Acid King...check out Mekanik on the 12th of this month; + Kirsty and John from the Arches - check them out sundays in the Cafe Bar. Thanks to Stuart (Sound Acoustics) for some superb extra mixing back in the control room. Halfway through the night, PC Mad-wi-it showed up to tell us to turn the noise down... and stayed for the rest of the night. See gallery and photos below

Bracchy back at the Club - a stand up king. Cheers mate! (p.s. we never even paid him!)

Mo lets us know where there party is at

PC Mad-wi-it caught in the act(?) We love this guy so much he has his very own PC Mad-wi-it gallery (click here).

A legend!

Next date on your Funk calendars - Friday 19th August at The Arches. Tickets are £6 but for all you beautiful Mosas out there, we can get them to you for half price (don't worry - we'll make up the difference cause we love you..!). Email or phone one of the crew.
