That is the Funky Lush I know and love - but Saturday's FL was very different.
No Sparkles, Foxylady, Spicy or Foxy - not even Phil Web, Lory, Kev, PaulF, Amir, David & Lily or Kate & Will - and many of the other regulars were missing
Even the music was different
However, I realise that TWK had to cater for the different crowd, as as you can see by the majority of the posts above - the boy did well

That date is recognized as her official birthday.

I didnt think the music had changed that much. I managed quite a few WCS dances, Cha chas, Tangos and of couse some modern jive. There were some new tracks and some of the old favourites.
Like AAA, spent 70-80% leading - The gender balance wasnt great but as someones pointed out the lower the numbers the more obvious the difference in numbers between the genders. Quite a few of the regulars werent there too
It didnt get going till later which we thought was odd since it did have an early finish.
I think the next one at ashtead is booked for september - im sure we'll have a few to look forward to inbetween though

Maybe it was me ..... I haven't been to FL for quite a while now, and things do change as DT has said. There are certainly lots more WCS dancers and WCS dancing. (Had a lovely WCS dance with Msfab)
It was a very slow start, possibly because of the lack of men, I don't think I had a dance until about 10pm, however I had a fab dance with Marc and a couple fantastic dances with Simon Borland, and lovely dances with Chef, JiveLad & Woodface and the evening ended with a fab dance with Marty

Was it a forumite that came up asking me to dance as they love a spinner? Im guessing not. lol
I had a lovely evening, but I didn't dance all that much, a mixture of reasons - not just because of the lack of men.
Sometimes its nice to get to chat and catch-up, esp when you only see some people at dance venues (I didn't help myself sitting at the back chatting ) so am not going to complain about my lack of dances.
Had some lovely dances with SuzyQ testing out some new moves on me
I don't think I've ever danced MJ with you but I find your WCS lead easy to follow and half the time I don't know what I'm doing in WCS anyway... I'll have to make sure we do it again soon - maybe without the extra "help" this time.
Oh, and you can add Dave H and myself to the list of forumites there (just very quiet ones!).

I'm not sure I agree. Funky Lush is what it is because it's difference. Otherwise it would just become another Ashtons or Hammersmith.. god forbid. I hope that Toby does keep his individuality when it comes to his playlists and doesn't bow to the pressure of playing more mainstream music.
That is true ........
Maybe it was me, I haven't been to FL for a very long time - the music was definitely great, but not as challenging as I remembered it to be - but there again most of the usual leads were not there, and that certainly wasn't FL's fault, and as a professional TWK did need to adapt to the floor
(maybe this should be a new thread)
TWK most definitely set the scene, and we love him for it - but as DT has said "things do move on" and there are now are a few new'ish talented DJ's (male AND female) on the scene who have slipped from the standard 'ceroc-mould' and play excellant and sometimes challenging music
Most events have a 'second room' now, so that these talented DJ's can strut their stuff - and of course we have those wonderful weekenders
