Funky wedding band

This 4 or 5 piece Funk band will get your crowd straight up on their feet! They play classics from Sinatra to the Beatles. Described by Jools Holland as 'Amazing'

Watch this 5 piece band grip the party, pumping out classic after classic. The vital ingredient that makes this band superb is their innate talent; they are explosive musicians, bringing a wealth of performing experience to your event.

This band can perform in many different combinations and styles. Richard (bandleader) is one of the greatest guitarists of his generation. He has taken this band around the world, appearing with jazz funk mammoths Courtney Pine and Dennis Rollins ( of Jamiroquai )

As consummate professionals, they appear at the most prestige venues, including Sir Terence Conran's Bluebird Club in Chelsea, The Hi-Fi and Cavern Club, and a 2004 tour of France, performing Richard's sensational original tunes.

The Beatles, Motown Classics, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, Cream and Frank Sinatra make up a funky set from these varied and talented performers.
