Funk in its Own Reward, featuring Lloyd Bradley's book launch and DJ set, will occur at the Museum of Youth Culture on 8 October 2026 at 18:00. The event includes a Q&A, book signings, and a vinyl DJ set, celebrating the cultural impact of funk music. Entry is free.
Lloyd Bradley’s book Funk is it’s Own Reward traces funk from its late-‘60s roots until it hands over the baton to hip-hop with the release of ‘Rappers Delight’ in 1979. From ‘Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud’ to Off The Wall; from the Third Harlem Cultural Festival to the P-Funk Earth Tour: Funk Is Its Own Reward plots the journey of an African American cultural movement that was always about far more than simply music.
To celebrate the release, Lloyd is hosting a Funk takeover at the Museum of Youth Culture, with a Q&A, book signings, archival material and spinning vinyl with DJ Fitzroy Soul Survivor.
