Three years ago the Funk Bunch were performing together playing jazz and swing classics in a big band, yet they felt the irresistible pull of soul, funk and blues music. Their solid friendship and mutual love of this music can be seen in their captivating, high energy, feel good performance. They really do have the BEST time on stage and have the ability to get everyone – from 8 years to 80 years, up and dancing.

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. If stairs are involved, is there a lift available to load in? Is there enough parking available for 7 cars? We’d also like to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify for as long as our PA system is set up. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
We are all involved in other function bands and live acts. Jazz bands, solo performances, Big Bands, Brass Bands and we all got together to share this love of music and playing music with friends. We have performed at many festivals, weddings and parties across the UK since we started and we continue to love what we do!
We love playing at all sorts of events but Festivals are our favourite. The crowd are always happy and want to have fun. Also- hotdogs.
We require 1.5- 2 hrs to set up and 1 hr to break down.
We usually perform 2x 45min sets. We're happy to play an extra 30min set for an extra charge.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for cover in case of rain, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
We can sometimes learn a specific song before a wedding for a first dance as long as we have enough time to rehearse and that it fits our style of music. Please ask us when you enquire!
