Chuff Chuff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chuff Chuff is a House music event that still takes place across the United Kingdom. Arranged by Mick Ryan, Dermot Ryan and Lee Garrick all promoters of Miss Moneypennys

Closely linked to Miss Moneypenny's dance event the one-off events manage to pull huge crowds, the events often take place in exclusive manor houses, Up until 2000 the whereabouts of the venues were kept a secret until the very last minute. People would sit in their cars wating for the phonecall to tell them where Chuff Chuff was, this idea was formed out of the Rave scene where large groups of revellers would listen & dance to underground dance music that was otherwise ignored by the likes of BBC Radio 1. The name Chuff Chuff came from the boat parties that used to take place on the River Severn. One of the first flyers had a picture of a boat with 2 funnels, a chuff of steam coming from each one.

The nights were renowned for their flamboyance and hedonism with revellers encouraged to "dress up or undress".

This event still continues today with recent ones taking place at the Imperial Hotel Blackpool in May 2006 and The Grand Hotel Brighton in November 2005
