Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We played at Clarence festival in Wakefield last summer to around 2000 people which has been our largest audience so far - amazing gig


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Gorillaz , Black eye Peas , Rolling Stones,
Stone roses , Eminem , Amy Winehouse , Chilli Peppars, Jamie Woon, De la soul .

Favourite song is James brown’s Man’s world - arrangement and vocal are incredible.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Been gigging for over 20 years and have played in dozens of bands professionally across a multitude of genres.
Funky Nature is the culmination of playing in bands and 10 years of working as a music producer specialising in all forms of rap . It has been this mix of influences that has allowed this band to have been created


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love playing places where people want to get up and dance as our music is all about audience participation particularly where they want to shake their booty


Can I request a duo without a rapper?

Sure, that's no problem at all. Our acoustic duo option can be made up of a guitarist and singer and our set list for this kind of performance will be adapted to suit.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive approx. 1-2 hours before to set up
We generally perform 2x 1hr 20 min sets but can be flexible here depending on the event


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, always happy to play outside with a flat surface and power supply (shaded would also be great where possible).


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We are always open to taking requests on the day - however if it’s for a particular reason like the groom wishes to sing a song with the band we do ask to be told beforehand do we can be prepared.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Engaging, professional, lots of fun and our most common audience feedback is usually that they love our set as it’s not something they’ve heard form a cover band before.


Do you take requests

Yes - if we can do it on the night we’re happy to give it a go, although it's usually best to have requests given in advance so we can prepare (particularly useful for any numbers with rap in them).
