Funky Transport At Y Bar Chamonix

15 Feb

I have a new residency in Chamonix.

It’s at a little cocktail bar named ‘Y’ on le Rue Paccard run by a gang of awesome girls and one spunky guy.

A bar’s atmosphere is determined by it’s ambiance and decor, but the true spirit of an establishment is the people and Y’s got a great team!

Music wise I’m djing all sorts of stuff traveling through soul to funk to house over to broken beats and back to nu-disco.  So,  if it’s funky it will land in the playlist.

The poster was built from a photo snapped during a photo shoot i did just over a year ago with a very good friend of mine Joe Hammond. It’s been hiding in the hard drive waiting to be used for the perfect occasion.  So here it is crafted into a poster concept by Travers De Porc with extra squiggle effect!

Come and visit for a cocktail and a boogie Saturday nights in Chamonix.

FOR ALL YOU NONE KIWIS – WTF IS WAITANGI?
Well….Every year on 6 February, New Zealand marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In that year, representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Maori chiefs signed what is New Zealand’s founding document. The day was first officially commemorated in 1934, and it has been a public holiday since 1974.

For some people, Waitangi Day is a holiday; for many, and especially for Maori, it is the occasion for reflecting on the Treaty. Since the 1970s the style and mood of the commemorations on Waitangi Day have been influenced by the increasingly heated debate surrounding the place of the Treaty in modern New Zealand.

Waitangi Day is recognised as New Zealand’s national day, but the long-standing tensions associated with it are always likely to surface in one form or another. The date is an important marker in the country’s history. Recognition of the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi as the nation’s founding document will continue to encourage leaders, communities and individuals to mark the day in new ways.

Ok, Now Let’s Party!
