REASONS TO GO SEE
1 “no of Edinburgh’s best under one roof. You’ve got Motherfunk lllO Honeyconib's one and only Tuesday night riistitution and home, of course. to Gino and l‘iyoi's eminently ass—shakable C()ll(XIl|()l| ot funk, soul. Latin and hip hop. 2 . . . and Ultragroove. Hence the name Ultragroove is Gareth Son'ieiyille's regular Saturday night outing at Cabaret Voltaire. an explosive and always well populated mixture of house. disco and all party starting pOints in betwcen. 3 Something for all tastes, then Either of these clubs is well weithy of recommendation on Its own. Put them both together and you've got a truly sprxnal land not Often repeated'i Occasion worthy of the season. 4 It‘s an Intimate affair Wrth both Clubs pitching up at the West End's Berlin for the occ‘aSion. capacity is strictly hunted, and a sellout guaranteed. Which means anyone y0u know who parties regardless of public holidays Wlll be right here. 5 Work off the turkey What else are yOu gong to do? We‘ve not checked the telly schedule On Christmas Day yet. but you probably got all the good films on DVD anyway. So get out there and socialise!
