FUNKification
BACK TO LISTING

Classic soul, funk and 70s grooves with a touch of pop and rock to give you the ultimate dance floor sound track. FUNKification is one of the busiest and most sought after live wedding and function bands in the UK. The ultimate funk/soul band in London.

Formed in 2001 from some of London's top young professional musicians, the band has evolved into the awesome party function band that you see today. The band never fails to impress with it's huge range of performance options and repertoire.

It doesn't matter whether you want a live funk band, soul band, 70s disco band, 80s band, pop band or rock band; FUNKification can provide the exact mix of repertoire required. No two performances are the same!

The funk/soul/70s band is scalable from 5 to 13-piece with a huge range of vocalist and brass section options . No matter which size of live function band you book the performance, energy and repertoire will be outstanding.

To give you an image of the band, think Earth Wind & Fire mixed with The Commitments, a dash of James Brown, a sprinkle of Aretha Franklin and a side order of Jamiroquai. The band has one of the largest repertoires of any function band on the scene today. A selection of swing repertoire can be incorporated into the band?s sets if required

If you are looking for a Wedding band in London then look no further than FUNKification! With nearly 10 years performing experience, if you need a funk and soul band there really is no other wedding band for you!
