The legacy of Britfunk

An apparently well-informed article in today's Guardian:

A fine article that I can relate to as I was an occasional funkster at George Power’s Crackers gigs. Later he took a regular gig at The Flamingo on Hackney Marshes. They were great nights out. Many of the records sounded great in a club as the bass-lines used to really get in your head.
Also went out to see Chris Hill a couple of times on Canvey. He was an acquired taste for sure rather like a vaudeville showman. He’d been influenced by some of the Jamaican toasters from the previous decade.He was over the top but people loved him and The Goldmine was always rammed.
