Cloud 10 — 19 Funky 3

Catalogue note

Original double-sided flyer for Cloud 10's '19 Funky 3', an open-air all-day event at Craven Cottage, Fulham, on 5 June 1993. The bill spans jazz-dance, funk, soul and house figures including the printed 'Giles Peterson', Patrick Forge, Kevin Beadle, Jeremy Healy and Frankie Foncett, with multiple associated promoter groups. The flyer also preserves a 5,000-ticket limit, detailed activity programme and a rare internal ticket-price discrepancy: £20 on the front versus £25 on the reverse.

Advertised programme: Main billed DJs/artists: Giles Peterson [printed spelling; high-confidence identification as Gilles Peterson], Patrick Forge, Kevin Beadle, Black Widow, Douglas P. Garrety, Jeremy Healy, Frankie Foncett, DJ Keiran, Steve Lloyd and Factor E. Additional attractions/performers: McCoy, Sunchild, Purple Om, Pascal on bongos, Agent Beatrap; more artists advertised to be announced.

Graphic-design significance: The illustrated front is highly distinctive: a flamboyant juggler surrounded by wireframe globes, radiating lines, coloured circles and a stylised sun, paired with the oversized '19 funky3' identity. The reverse strips the visual language down to a single-colour sun motif and dense event information. A specific 'flyer art & print: ben' credit survives, but the designer's full identity is unresolved.

Historical context: The flyer presents 19 Funky 3 as an 'open air cocktail of enchantment, magic & spice' at Craven Cottage on 5 June 1993. The billed pairing of Giles Peterson and Patrick Forge is highly consistent with Gilles Peterson and Forge's established London jazz-dance partnership: reputable specialist sources document their co-running of Talkin' Loud and Saying Something at Dingwalls from 1986 to 1991. This event therefore sits within the post-Dingwalls spread of eclectic jazz/funk/soul club culture into larger all-day formats, alongside house and broader club programming.

Production note: Full-colour commercial print on coated paper/card stock; exact printing process and stock weight not established.

Condition note: Very Good appearance, ungraded. Light edge/corner handling, minor surface wear and small isolated scuffs/marks, including visible rubbing at the upper-right front edge. Printing remains vivid and fully legible. No major tears or paper loss visible.

Confidence / uncertainty: The exact event date, hours, venue, promoter network, printed performer names, ticketing language, outlet network and design/print credit are physically verified. The front spells 'giles peterson'; the catalogue treats this as a high-confidence printed variant of Gilles Peterson because he is billed alongside Patrick Forge in a context consistent with their documented partnership, but the physical spelling is preserved. A significant internal discrepancy is retained: the front prints £20 advance ticket price while the reverse prints £25 advance-only. No attempt is made to silently choose one.
